I think this is about the best value for your money http://websiteunited.com/sales.php. I have been with them for a little while, they weren't very professioanl at first, but they have improved and the reliability is now stable. [and i get a referal bonus too if you mentioned me, heh].

Also www.bigbytes.net/ - i also use them. They are a lot more reliabile and more professional fast email return and stuff, and the prices aren't bad.

2. I suggest the staples idea rather than getting a contract written up for you, you're only going to need a generic contract [i assume you're doing smaller projects]. Although I havent' heard about online lawyers before.

3. Although very evil, if you can try and find out what your competition charges and work around that. Perhaps you will be lucky and they'll advertise it on their site.

4. imho, get a good accountant before you start and get some books on how to run a business. Its not so hard to get the money, hard bit is managing the money. If you can; try and make a marketing plan first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_plan i think this would be the most important step, it will help you in deciding if it is really what you want in a way.
