First come up with a business plan as this is a very competitive field.  The next thing is you will need to get an office space as this is not the type of business you could do home based unless it is a virtual temp agency where you place people that could work from home.  You would need to get people to sign up for your service.  Also you need to get employees to fill the spots that you obtain through companies.  Call small businesses and try to get them to sign up.  One niche would be to place employees in homebased businesses as this is hard for homebased business owners to find.  You also need to find out more about how to set up from the local SBA.  They will show you how to set up.

There is nothing simple or easy about starting a home-based business.\n\nThere is nothing simple about doing business on the Internet.\n\nYour best chance for success is to make a list of all the skills you have - what you like to do, what you are good at doing and then match that with a perceived need.  \n\nIf there is an existing market for what you can do, it's much easier.  Otherwise you will be spending large amounts of time building up a clientele for your product or service.\n\nA good place to start is with SCORE - link below - for free business advice from retired executives.\n\nEven if you don't spend cash starting up - be prepared to invest lots of time - most of it without bringing in cash - to establish and build your business.  \n\nEven when you do get clients, expect to put in long hours - most successful businesses don't begin to see a profit for 3-5 years.

For complete information about planning for and starting your own small business, see the Small Business Administration website at http://www.sba.gov  Take a look at the startup kit and lessons.  It is probably something you can start now while you are working, and keep getting a paycheck while you get all the other stuff in order.\n\nBefore investing time and especially money on any home-based businesses, it’s a very good idea to educate yourself on the different types of schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and look out for – before picking a home-based business. The Federal Trade Commission has several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. \n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm
