Hi guys,i have been wanting to open and run an IT firm for a long time now,but dont know how to go about it. I am into networking, but want to open a fully functional IT company, which includes; Software development, Programming, Autocad design, Graphic design, System Engineering and co. My problem is,i dont do any of these directly,so i dont know how much is 1. Cost of setting up, and 2. Estimate of output (profitability). I am thereby asking you wonderful and talented guys in the house to help me out. I have always believed in practicalising what you have learnt,that is why i want to start-up this firm,i cant do much myself, but i believe that there are Guys out there who can do it,they only need the enabling environment, for them to excel(who says we cant have our own steve jobs here). It is these set of Guys that i intend to work with. Plese house, help me out. Your response is highly valued. THANKS

Just one salient question: Are you saying that you are proficient in all these areas of IT you just listed? If you're not, just focus on the area of your competence.

Well, usually, when people want to start a business like yours, they hire EXPERTS who are very good in the areas, they are not, and pay them to do the work.

You need a Business Plan, with your plan you will be able to map out what you need and how much they are going to cost.
