Looking into being bonded(insured).
Check on your locality's license requirements.
Check into, whether, you wish to be sole proprietorship, partnership, incorporating, etc.
There is a lot you need and need to know... I don't know how far you plan on carrying the business, but a lot large jobs will want someone to do the whole thing. Like from the demarc on. In that case you would need more test equipment and tools. Also, an understanding of equipment, testing procedures, etc. of the project you will be involved in.
Most of the vendors, I worked with, did the inside from the demarc and all the electronics(loose term).
The only time I remember a vendor doing just cabling\wire, was in a residential setting.
Goodluck in the venture.
