Is that type of business really that lucrative?
You thinking of setting up a payroll and accounting arm of the business?

it makes good money. there's a place out in houston, can't remember the name of it, but a buddy of mine works there. he told me that they brought in 9 million this last quarter. i know i'm making a good amount on very few hours. it basically comes down to about a 30/hr base charge throughout this kind of market.
yes i'm planning on hiring help to pick up any extra appts that i can't handle and then eventually just pass them all down to the employees and just serve as the manager of the whole thing. i'm definitely looking for this to be a long term thing.

You'll need a DBA You can obtain it in back of the Automobile license Dept. there in Weslaco.You will have to get the forms they give you notarized,Then take it back and The name of your business will be registered.The fee isn't that much,I can't remember how much I paid,but it's not that much.

thanks tiger. i'm having trouble coming up with a name only because i'd need it to be usable in other places besides weslaco, or the valley. my partners in all this are spread around the state so i'd need something that i could use in corpus, and houston, and sa, but when we do figure it out, that info will be useful. thanks.

It will ask you in what Counties you will be doing business in.So as long as you know the Counties where your partners are,your set.

yeah, this is just an extension to something that i already do. business is getting a little heavy so i need to take on some help. i already got a lawyer and a cpa to help out so all i need is to register my name and get whatever licenses i need and i'm good to go.
