.....I am clueless when it comes to business related stuff, and was just wondering this the other day...and another post just reminded me to ask.

When should a 'hobby' herp keeper that is selling reptiles go about forming a proper business? Is there a certain level of income or expense that should be reached first or should this be done right from the start? What benefits would it offer?

If any of you know a good 'starting up a business' site that I can check out to learn a little please let me know. It seems that I have spent all my college years learning how to design stuff and the only business training that I have is preparing budgets, schedules, and estimates for construction projects......I have not learned a single thing about how to run a business or even how to start one.
