I'm looking to start a court reporting agency (stenography), in the
New York metro area. I'd like to know what is involved in starting the
company, the day to day running of the company, and marketing myself
to potential clients.

Also, what kind of price stuctures are standard in the industry? What
do the agencies charge their clients, and what do they pay their
reporters?

Are there any accreditations/licenses required to run the agency?

And finally, can you estimate how many agencies there are in the Brooklyn, NY area?

Thank you in advance.
