How do you go about starting your own small business?

How can I go about starting a small welding business?

• I am looking for some help. I already have the equipment for the business, I can do every type of welding, along with any type of fabrication. I have been working in the welding feild for over 10 years. So, I have the expreiance and I have the drive it takes to work towards growing a small business. My question is how can I get steady business coming in? I don't have alot of money, so i can't really advertise all that much, I tried getting the word out (word of mouth), by making things for friends and other small businesses, but it never gave me steady business. So again, heres my questions, How can I go about getting a steady flow of customers? How can I grow this business into something more than just a garage business, with out taking tens of thousands of dollars out for a business loan? Are there any websites out there that could also help me with these question?
