Quick summary: Due to some of my goals in life I need to be in a field of business that I can easily manage from anywhere. Because of this (and the potential it has) I've turned to the internet.

I just need to take action so I've decided to start a web development business. This will allow myself to expand out of what I "want" to learn and learn what my customers willl need. Not only will I learn more about the medium I plan to use, but I'll also get over many of my fears from starting a business and step outside my comfort zone.

Now, the first step - Setting up the business:

I know very little about the process for this and I'm wondering if anyone here can point me at some book or website to inform me. What about the process of taxes and everything? I don't know why but that part seems truthfully the most intimidating with all of their jargon!

Idk, I have so many questions, but I'll ask after I read any information everyone here can give!
