Tips for Starting a Business! Feedback Please.
I have been doing plumbing and heating now for twelve years, I believe that I ready to start out on my own full time. The "Side Work" is good, but not good enough to keep me busy fulltime. What I am looking for is some pointers such on marketing, start up costs, and that kind of thing. Thanks.

The "Side work" part hits a nerve with me. Good luck.

Well I am setting up shop in North Eastern, CT. I have been using Craigslist and Service Magic for a little bit now. Both seem to work, Craigslist a little more than Service Magic, but I've generated some really nice projects from both.
