To those new to this business

First of all, before you start a new business you should have an idea of how you will get your business started.

New businesses generally require 6-18 months before they start to show a profit.

I recommend in addition to reading this board daily you go immediately study online sources on:
1-Writing a business plan
2-Starting a business
3-Running a business
4-Writing a marketing plan
5-Daily marketing a business

And, finally, #6-Finding a niche for your business.

While you are doing that, study your notary rules until you learn them by memory.

I also suggest someone starting this (or any) business talk to their tax advisor since being self-employed is quite different from being an employee. It's very sad when someone comes to me with self-employment income but has idea the implications.
