All it takes to go into business is some business cards and some stationary. If you do go into financial planning you will find yourself competing with every life insurance salesperson operating in your community plus some dedicated financial planners who don't sell life insurance. Since adequate insurance is a key element of financial planning I think you should investigate obtaining both insurance and financial planning certifications. Hope this helps Jerry-the-bookkeeper business
