I understand that this question will vairy from state to state but, I just want to know how did you get started, mostly I would like to know what you did for startup money, (i.e. bussiness loan, savings,???). The reasoning for all the questions is (if you havent guessed it) is I intened to open my own shop in a few years when I get out of the military, and I would like to have every thing ready before I get out. So in closing if you could help me I would be very thankful.
