Contact your local Chamber of Commerce. They should be in the phone book. If not you can find them on the net. They will have free business advisers and possibly business start up courses for you to go on that will help. |

yeah get a portfolio of work together to show clients, and maybe do a course in painting/decorating and interior design- you then can give advice on what works best.

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.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Paint Contractor's Manual by Dave Matis
* Painter's Handbook by William McElroy
* Smart Business for Contractors : A Guide to Money and the Law (For Pros, By Pros) by Jim Kramon
* Start Your Own Interior Design Business and Keep It Growing!: Your Guide to Business Success : Touch of Design by Linda M. Ramsay
* FabJob Guide to Become an Interior Decorator (FabJob Guides) by Tag Goulet, Catherine Goulet
* The Interior Design Business Handbook: A Complete Guide to Profitability by Mary V. Knackstedt
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! |

Besides putting together a portfolio of work you've done, you'll need to do several important things to make your business "legal" and to protect you as well.
At very least, if you use a business name, you'll need to register it as a DBA (doing business as) with your local officials. You need to check locally to see what other licenses and permits might be required, too.
You'll need to check with your state sales tax department to see if the service you plan to provide is taxable. In some states and/or cities it may be, in others it may not. If it is taxable, you need to apply for a state sales tax permit.
You should consider buying some kind of liability insurance, too. That would protect you if, say, you spilled paint that couldn't be cleaned on a pricey carpet or priceless antique.
Don't forget about taxes, and if you are serious about turning this skill into a business, you might want to look into incorporating the business.
Separately from all the "legal" type tasks, you'll want to have a good handle on how long it will take you to perform your services, what your costs will be, how you'll price your service and how you can market the service.
