The blueprint to go from zero to paying customers and all the knowledge in between to guide you is out there in the open and is for free.

CLOUD COMPUTING AND WEB APPS MAKE IT CHEAP TO START

A few years ago it used to cost a lot to get started in terms of software plus hardware. Software for internal collaboration used to cost a lot and only very few choices were available. Software for actual development was even more costly. Now we have mature open source frameworks/databases and cloud apps. Time is reduced with libraries and frameworks like JQuery and Ruby on Rails. Odds are, if there is something you need, it’s out there and available for free. If it’s not, there is probably someone to talk to.
