larciel, let me give you some advice: do not start a business by the 'learn-as-you-go' method. You will save yourself a heap of grief.
Maybe that's not what you intended, but by the sound of it, you are already down at City Hall filing the necessary paperwork, and you really have no clue what you're doing. That's what I mean.
Stop, take a few steps back, and RESEARCH this before you start making any positive moves towards engaging in business. There's a maxim that has become sorta cliche, but its no less the truth: People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.
Starting a business is all about planning. You should have been asking this question...oh...about three or four months ago, if you wanted to have your business up-and-running by the end of next month. Even a small business can take up to a year from conception of idea to commerce.
There is still time, the 'window' of opportunity for starting a business isn't going to 'pass' you by. You can start a business any time, as long as your plan is sound and your economic model viable. Without question the #1 reason for business failure is POOR/INADEQUATE/NON-EXISTANT PLANNING.
