As far as fund management, I already have the hardware and infrastructure to do the work, and I have a lead on someone who can do web hosting for me (in business for YEARS) for cheap, so there won't be much in the way of expenses, and in the contract I will just stipulate that any part needs will be paid upfront before the repair is done so I don't get stuck holding myself, so to speak.
Having done this for a few years "on the side", this pre-payment thing will tend to paint you as a "low-end" player. This will tend to limit your market to those who either know you (friends & family types), or those who can't get anyone else to do it. The second type usually become billing problems. Wait until you are adequately capitalized.

Just my $0.02.
