How to start up a photo business from home?
I went to school for photography about 1 year ago for 2 years. I live in Minnesota where there is winter hafe the year or better. I would like to start a business but have no idea how because I really can’t take them to my house (in part it really isn’t my home) for photos. I don’t have the options to take out more loan money. I only have 1 flash that goes with my camera. I have 5 lenses and 2 camera that are DSLR’s. If there are any ideas or good books on this idea I would be most appresciative for such. Thank you.
I am not looking for finical advice, but rather I am looking for a route in which to get in to photography. I want options in different niches to photograph in which I can photograph for a client.
First, get a real job that generates income which you pay taxes on. You are in no way ready to go into business as a photographer and it be your primary source of income without knowledge in business tools and consumer-level equipment, no one will hire you so having a route in which to get into photography won’t do you any good. There’s no such thing as a route to get into anything without ambition and a load of excuses for why you can’t do the work. No bank will give you a loan. And short of winning the lottery, life just doesn’t work that way. Next, start with thinking of yourself as an amateur hobbyist and use the income from your day-job to fund what you’d like to become a business because you’re too inept to put in the work it takes to be successful without believing there’s some trick that only professional photographers know about. There’s no trick, just a lot of work. And you seem to be incapable of that, so you’ll get exactly what you’re putting into it until you lose this attitude of being entitled simply because you own a couple of DSLR’s and a few lenses. Fortunately for you and many other people who are perhaps handicapped by life and responsibility, you can earn income as a hobbyist and not need a business license or pay taxes on that income, but you have to have a primary, taxable source of income from a real job. As you earn money, you will be able to invest in better equipment and if you’re lucky, gain enough experience to figure out the rest on your own.
You will need some basics.
* a business license
* a business and marketing plan
* a profit and loss sheet so you can see how you are doing and if you are charging enough for your services
* If you intend to shoot small products, you will need some incandescent lamps, a tripod and light tent.
As you produce more cash flow, you will be able to buy more lighting, backgrounds and other accessories.

I’m a part time photography student who has been in college since 2009 and since my college doesn’t teach the "business" side of photography, I’m adding business classes to my electives. Most businesses fail due to lack of people knowing the business side of their business. It’s one thing to love photography and have some photography classes under your belt; it’s a whole different story to start your own photography business.
It would be better to work a regular full time job first, then check out business classes at your local community college or talk with a local professional photographer to find out how they started their own business.
