Hello all I believe I'm finally ready to put my plans into motion and get my consulting business off the ground. MY IT services will focus on providing IP networking solutions for small/medium business owners. Basically setting up routers, switches, firewalls, and VoIP for customers along with providing support for these services. I'm currently working as an network analyst and I'm still moving up the networking telecommunication ladder but but I only work 15 days a month which gives me more time than what I know what to do with.
I'm going to focus on partnering with other IT businesses that are unable to provide sufficent network support for businesses. The market research I did so far shows that many IT support companies a lot of times aren't able to provide a lot of networking support due to the steep learning curve when it comes to network engineering compared to say PC support. I registered my ficticus name with my state a few months back but I haven't accomplished much else besides a small business plan and my own market research. I want to get the LLC and all the legal things taken care of next to protect my self. Who should I talk to about this, should I find a business attorny, account, or both? Also while I'm going to market my services as much as possible are there companies out there that provides marketing and even sale services? I want to delegate as much as possible so I can focus on building the business it self, I know I'll have to wear multiple hats for while though until then though. I appreciate any advice in advance!
