Useful Skills
Depending on what type of services you provide, you may or may
not some formal training or schooling.
Your local community college probably offers a set of courses
that will train you in all of the different areas of knowledge
that you're going to need. If you want to provide services under
warrantee, you might need to take and pass a proficiency course
with the individual computer makers.
Supplies & Equipment
A simple computer toolkit is going to include some screwdrivers
of varying small sizes, compressed air and cleaning cloths. As
most computer owners are afraid to open up their systems for
simple cleaning and maintenance, you'll be cleaning as you go.
Get insurance. Insurance will not only make the customer feel
safe knowing that if something goes wrong it will be covered but
it will also cover you in the unfortunate event that something
does go wrong!
How do you get started?

Set up contact information, hours of operation, what your
support service offers, what your rates are and make your
possible clients feel at home when they visit your website. If
