How do I set up an internet based business

[amh]

Hi there,

I have an idea for a business that will provide a service for a small nominal charge. The problem is though that I have no experience of setting up an internet based business. I would really appreciate some advice about how to go about this. Would I need to register my idea to prevent someone from copying it? If I approach an internet design company what would prevent them from marketing my idea as their own? How do I set up a method to collect payment? How much would it cost to design and launch a web site?

Give you local enterprise board or enterprise Ireland a call, they have alot of experience in these types of businesses.

Yeah it's different to any other service that i can find anywhere else on the net. Simple idea but should be a big help to those who sign up to it!

Yes, Best bet is to approach a web company and see what their suggestions would be with regards to your idea.
