"the above is "not" alot of money needed, and unless you plan to be your own lawyer, accountant and adviser ..... alot of that money would go to these fees, plus insurance"

Maybe I'm mistaken, (you can correct me on that) but I don't feel I need a lawyer. For the moment, and probably in the future, my business wouldn't warrant and accountants. I have software to help me with that. My oldest son ownes a nationwide business and has already given me much advise, for free.

"have you thought of what structure to incorperate under?"

Sole Proprietorship until/if the business grows to warrant and LLC.

"or will you be sole proprietor or in partnership ?"

Yes

"please don't take this post as a discouragment, I am all for your success but, ask yourself these questions first before getting your feet wet

Why am I doing this?"
Money

"Money?" YES LOL

"Passion for the industry or business ?"

Would like to receive money for something that is just costing me money with no returns.

"other ?"

Something to keep me busy, give me a reason for taking up space on Planet Earth, helping my youngest and his wife by "teaching them to fish rather than handing them the fish for free."
