Good day.

I'm planning to put up a small IT consulting company in our place because I can see demand for it.  But, I don't know where to start, I'm planning on using open source tools for systems development since I don't have enough funds to acquire tools from commercial providers like Microsoft.  Currently I'm still in my 3rd year as a BSIT student and I'm planning to do it after graduation maybe by next year.  I would to ask for your suggestions or ideas on how should I start with this endeavor because this is really my dream.  Hope you can help me.

Thank you.
God Bless!

Hi Reymon,

First of all, I am sorry for such a late response...

I am not sure that what kind of projects you are going to target? With how many resources and how much budget?

Tell me more details and then I should help you with my ideas.

Thanks
Ehsan
