Become a Reseller

I am an MCSE in Windows 2000. I have not had much luck finding a job in the
current IT market and I am very close to starting my own Business. I was
wondering if anyone knew where I could get more information on how to become
a Reseller for Microsoft Software. Also, Since both of the guys that will be
starting this business with me are also Microsoft Certified, Where can I get
information that will explain any help, support or possible benefits that I
might be entitled to from Microsoft for having a completley certified
workshop. We plan on providing repair and support for Home users and small to
media size businesses, possibly expanding into Web design, and hopefully
become a local Microsoft Reseller.

i would suggest that you become a registered partner first.
then sign up for the action pack. keeps your biz street legal at the very
least.

I agree. Home users will call desperate for help and then after spending 3
hours on their PC they freak when you hand them a bill for $225. I guess
they think I do this cause I love technology so much I don't deserved to get
paid.

give them

That would be the community living inside his head I believe. this day and
age it's almost, if not, impossible to get that rate out of a business, let
alone a home user.

That's the point - it makes them go away. It's not worth dealing with
a home user for any less.

Once you touch somebody's computer, it's yours forever.
