Nuts and Bolts Business Advice

Hi all. I'm currently looking to become self employed. Still figuring out what I want to do, but I know I want to be my own boss.

Trouble is, I lack the basic foundation of knowledge of how the business world works. I've read many business books. They tend to focus on sales/marketing strategies.

Where can I go to learn the basic skills of building a business?

For example: How do you organize a business? What are the legal restrictions/requirements? What are the admin requirements? How do you write contracts? How does accounting work? How do you hire employees? How does sub-contracting work? How do you write a business plan? How do you get a business loan? How do you go about billing customers? Plus more questions I haven't even thought of?

Cheers Shomberj
