[ale] Legal Requirements for small business consulting

[BruceG]

Hey all,

    Got (another) call today about a dead PC, could I come and fix it. It's
a Windows 98 PC with out of date anti-virus software, updates not done
often, and will only boot from the rescue floppy. Basically hosed. Anyway, I
stepped them through getting the PC back upand running, then updating
antivir and scanning it. Didn't find anything.

    Anyway - looks like the office needs PC maintenance. My son could do it,
but he should get cash for doing so. The volunteer stuff is getting old.
Where do I look for legal requiments for setting up a small consulting
company. Basically, my son would offer a maintenance service in keeping the
PCs at the office current on MS Security fixes, virus updates and firewall
updates. He'd also offer to do backups on the payroll PC and the records PC.
