    The best place to start, in the US, is by contacting the Small Business Administration. They have lots and lots of good information about starting a business.

    You'll need a business plan that lays out a timetable for what you're going to do, how you're going to be financed, how big you want to grow the business, ... all of that.

    You'll need market research. What do you want to trade, where are those goods in demand, can you even make a living at it.

    You'll need financing. A credible business plan is required. A good credit history also needed. Remember to include enough so that you can pay yourself a little bit as the business is starting up. Plan on the business operating at a loss for the first two or three years while you're getting established.

    You'll need a marketing plan, a list of suppliers identified, and candidate customers. With import/export, a significant piece of your expenses will be shipping and storage - you'll have to have a plan for that, too.

    **Get yourself a copy of "The E-Myth". It's a very important little book describing why more than 90% of small businesses fail within the first five years, and what to do to prevent it.
