Hello,
Most states have small business development centers sponsored by collaborating universities. Ckeck to see if Big Red is on board with a program like this and give them a call - their help is usually free.
If your business is a sloe proprietorship, you will probably have to register your business with a local office, obtain a tax ID number, and you're off! Check ALL local laws and regs to make sure you will be dealing with legal goods in your state since auto's are a bit tricky. Pick up a copy of Blade 2000 which has an extensive list of manufacturers/distributors and start writing some letters to set up accounts. From what I understand it really is that easy.
Good Luck,
MBS
