The interesting aspect of small business is that combining with other like-minded folks spreads the risk...ask around.

The guy I use for any and all computer/internet/satellite work started as an after hours guy with Hughes and, because he is great, built a referral business.

His only issue is that every computer problem is an emergency on the customers part, especially home users. He joined with a few other folks to spread the work load and risk.
