Most people who start a home inventory service business are not "serial entrepreneurs" -- instead, this is likely your first business. Because the statistics for start-up businesses overall aren't that great (it's estimated that fewer than 50% of business make it to the five-year point), you can increase your likelihood of long-term success by getting help with your new company.
One excellent source of help is SCORE, which stands for "Service Corps of Retired Executives." Their new Online Training programs are FREE, and can help you with your business start-up:

With courses on business planning, financial management, tax compliance, advertising, and technology, you'll get ideas for establishng a solid foundation for your business. You can also take advantage of their free network of business advisors/mentors -- available in communities across the nation and now online!
There are also dozens of "how-to" articles online.
They also have a section on disaster preparedness (targeted towards business owners, but it has a lot of useful information for home inventory service business providers too!):
