    I've had an interest in computer security for some time and I'm now looking at
    starting a business around it. There are *no* other such businesses in my
    area but because of this, I'm not sure how to sell my services to potential
    customers or even what my target market should be (small, medium, or big
    business).

    Anyone have any suggestions as to where I could start looking for information
    on this side of things?
