What is necessary to start my own consulting business?

I am a social worker and plan to compose homestudies for attorneys, individuals and government agencies. Currently, I am a contract social worker for a non-profit agency and pay taxes quarterly and receive a 1099.

People will pay me a set fee for each homestudy and I will not be their contract employee as I am for my agency. I was wondering if I should become an LLC or become incorporated, etc.

Also, what type of accounting software should I use? Should I hire an accountant to assist with this or can I do it on my own? I know I can do the LLC or INC. paperwork online with the Secretary of State. Also, what about a DBA ?

I want to make sure that I do this the right way and not skip any steps or get myself in trouble with the government. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Go online and fine SBA.gov starting your own business there you will fine a business plan sample and info on how to start your own business, and the different types of businesses, every thing you need to know about started a business.

You should hire a consultant to assist you.
