Re-starting a computer repair business?

[g-dogg]

When i was 15 i started a small computer repair business, but due to the limitations of being young i really couldnt expand or go very far. Long story short i had a few customers and the business died out.
Recently i've had a few people ask me to do some repairs on their computers (basic spyware removal, windows reinstallation, router/dsl setups etc...). This has got me thinking, maybe i should Re-start my old business, except this time i want to make it successful and easily expandable. The problem i am facing right now is i really dont know how i should go about it? how can i set it up to be expandable? what should i be researching? how would i set it up legally? what kind of advertising would be most appropriate? Hopefully some of the more experienced people here can help me out!

Thanks in Advance
Andrew
