Business description-Consulting could be perhaps the most accessible entrepreneurial business one can undertake because there's basically zero start-up cost. The appeal of consulting lies in the fact that there is no office to rent, no inventory to buy, no special equipment, no franchise fees, no incorporation costs, and you can spend as little or as much as you want on advertising and marketing. All you really need is to know how to do something that most people do not know how to do and would be willing to pay money to either learn how to do or have it done for them. Some may argue that knowledge is a consultant's most important intangible asset, but in reality, reputation is. Keep in mind that knowledge can be easily bought, or even sub-contracted, while reputation cannot. While you could know everything in the world, but if no one knows you know it, you are not going to make a living with it. The most effective form of marketing is still word-of-mouth referrals, and that relies entirely on your reputation. Most consultants begin their at home work with an established reputation in their field of expertise.

Materials needed-There are no required materials to begin being a consultant. The only equipment you may need is anything that is applicable to your field of consulting.
