Steps for starting a permaculture design business.

Looking for advice on how to start a permaculture design business. I will be taking Geoff Lawton's online PDC this year. So after that what do i need to do to get into business in the US? Licensing? Insurance? Any other (worthless) education required by the government to have a business? I want to have all of these things in place before im done with the PDC so i can hit the ground running. Beyond this i have several ideas for income streams, ALL of which i will implement.
