Whoooaa.. you may want to hold off on considering hiring employees if you don't know anything about starting the business :) Hiring employees is a pretty big (and expensive) step so I would put out of your mind for now.

How you'll start the business will depend on your state and your county (generally just your state). EVERY state has a guide on how to start a business - here is a list with links:

There's also a pretty good guide on that page. Read that info first then come back with follow up questions.
