text: i would like to know how to establish and run a taxi & limo service. starting with a vehicle i already own.?   for in-depth information about the limousine service business, i suggest you check out the following books (either borrow them from your library or buy them from your favorite bookstore):  1. wheels of gold: a complete how-to guide for starting a million dollar limousine business http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0974580503/powerhomebizguid 2. how to succeed in the limousine business http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin//0971119104/powerhomebizguid  in terms of legal requirements, the state of colorado has outlined the requirements a limousine service operator must do. it may not be the same in your own state, but i reckon they will almost be similar, if not the same. look at the list so you can know what to expect in terms of required limo specifications, trade name registration, insurance requirements, and other requirements (see link below).  good luck! isabel isidro http://www.powerhomebiz.com
