The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Really Start Your Own Business, Fourth Edition by David E. Gumpert
* How to Really Create a Successful Business Plan: Step-by-Step Guide by David E. Gumpert
* What No One Ever Tells You about Starting Your Own Business: Real-Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs (What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business) by Jan Norman
* Business Start-Up Kit by Steven D. Strauss
* Start Your Own Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Rieva Lesonsky
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Be prepared to work harder! I love having a small business but I also know that one little mistake can cost me everything... and I mean everything. It's not true that you have more free time when you own a small business because you actually spend more time convincing your clients that you're worth the slightly higher fees for the more personalized service you provide.
Good luck!

it takes three years to turn around a business so make sure you can keep going that long before you start. Get all the free advice you can from your local enterprise organisations but don't expect any grants. Get into networking groups locally as the exchange of ideas can save you a fortune

If it's a Small Business you want to start first read
E-Myth revisited written by Michael Gerber
It will tell you why most small businesses fail and how to succeed.
This is not your typical business book and its not designed to be a motivator, it is however a powerful look at the American business system and why it fails so you don't !.
It will cost $16.00 at the book store and is worth thousands !!.
Good luck

Try the moon apparently there are great opportunities there and very few business have set up there so far. According to another recent question there is apparently oxygen within the rocks so perhaps you can start up an oxygen producing plant and then franchise it to other planets within the solar system.
