I am looking into becoming a Virtual Assistant. I know I can do the work but my quandry is whether I should start out on my own or become part of a Virtual Assistant Staffing group? What is involved in starting form scratch? Besides the usual registering for business name and tax id, what type of insurance would I need and does anyone have an idea on the cost. I am located in NJ if that makes a difference to anyone giving advice.

Any VA's out there with advice?
