To hold yourself out as a commercial pilot you'll need a commercial certificate and a Part 135 operating certificate from the F.A.A. Good luck with that - have fun.
For insurance purposes it behooves you (tremendously) to have an instrument rating also and at least 1,000 hours in make/model.
Smart thing would be to start the business, acquire the aircraft and hire out the maintenance & flying parts. Even then, it's hard to make it profitable especially given the current costs of fuel.
I looked into something similar to this a few years back when I was instructing for a living. Very hard to make money in aviation. In fact there's a saying, "how do you make a small fortune in aviation? Start with a large one."
