I think the biggest challenge here is money. If you have it, then everything becomes pretty easy. If you don't, you'll be struggling a lot and it will take you forever. Finding a partner is great, but it's very tricky to find one. If you're specifically looking for a partner, it may be even dangerous as there's not enough time to learn each other well enough before someone fucks you over. I'm in the same boat, trying to make it happen. Start with a business plan. Figure out what you're going to be doing, how you're different from the rest, where your clients are, how much money you need, etc... The more i learn about it the more it amases me to see succesful firms who pull it off. Freaking hard business. Imagine how much money per month you need to generate if you have even 5 people working full time in house. Unless they're your friends/partners who all agreed to work their asses of not expecting much. But then, who owns the firm?
