Answer
Not sure where you are writing from.  In the US you need to contact ARC:  http://www.arccorp.com/index.jsp
For outside the US you need to contact IATAN:  http://www.iatan.org/Pages/default.aspx

Here is a good page devoted to home based travel agencies:  http://www.travelagentcentral.com/home-based

I wish you the best
