Welcome BIG A

Indeed a big step to take.
Take it very seriously and wiegh your current benifits against your opportunities.

At the city you must have some access to the building dept. Talk to your electrical inspector(s) and permit clerk, knowing your competition before you jump in, would be very helpful in your decision making.

Credit, assets, and liquefiable funds will play a huge part in your ability to conduct business. Know what your limits will be.

Good Luck
Larry
