Hi Everyone- I am new to this site. I have been reading, with great interest, all the postings about starting a staffing agency. Well, I am trying to embark into small business also. I would like some input. I have been an RN for 7 years and a staff relief RN with an agency for 5 years. Most of the time I handle all of my own staffing and making sure that everyone has my current licensure. I have contacts with the hospital that is the major user of staff relief nurses in the area. I have a good reputation with the hospitals and staff. All of the nurses I have mentioned the idea to have eagerly stated that they wanted to work for me. I even had one of the hospital staffing employees say she would leave her position at the hospital to work for me. I am working on a business plan, I have contacted the CA-BRN for their input, I am getting quotes on liablitiy insurance and worker's comp, I have a partner who will hopefully bring some money with her, I am working on getting a business licence, ect. But, I am still scared as with starting any new venture. I am getting a lot of reasurance from my family and business contacts. But, is there anything I am missing? Any comments would be appreciated. Does anyone have any words of wisdom to share? Would one suggest working for myself initially for instance as a sole proprietor or as a one person agency? Also, which is better- LLC or incorp? Thank you
