Computer Repair Business. I am only 16 i need some advice.?

Hello was just wondering on what I would need to start a computer repair business. I am only 16 years old, but lets just say i love computers and I know them inside and out. I am not certified or anything like the tech guys at geek squad but lets just say I know more about computers than they do Anyways I wont be working out of my home it will be a storefront. Rent free my dad owns the strip mall lol. Its about 1500 square feet which is plenty and hours are gonna be flexible on my time. I will do flyers as advertisment. I will charge way less than geek squad thinking about $50 for virus/spyware removal compared to their $169.99. I will get an assumed name and all the other licenses needed by the state. My dad said insurance would be a good thing just in case something does go wrong. Im not trying to support a family or anything just looking to make a little cash during the summer and on weekends and breaks during school. If anyone has some advice it would be nice

Your father is very generous. Make sure you tell people you only rent space and are not associated with the shop. There is a standard agreement/equipment reciept that has all the CYA languag--you may want to find it.
