Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any Customs brokers out there that have started their own business that can help me out? I passed my Customs Broner exam back in October 2014. Customs finally called me last week and said my license has been approved and is on its way. Should be here later this week..

My question is that now I'm about to get it, what do I need to do in order to start my own business? I have a website and will be working on SEO for that, but what sort of licenses or programs do I need? I work at a brokerage now and they do everything electronically. Can you use these if your doing things on your own and does anyone know roughly how much one of those costs? I understand that in order to get a national permit and to start doing RLF entries that one must first do 10 local entries through your district port. Can these be done electronically or do they have to be done manually? Basically any information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated and when things get set up I'll keep any generosity in mind! (In respect to some reduced entry fees!!)

Thanks,
Patrick
