Where do I even start?

I want to start an escort service business in San Diego and I don't know where to begin. I have asked around and all I get are offers to be an escort in my company as soon as it begins. Any ideas, pointers, anything????

Well to start, what do you know about the escort business? Have you been involved in the business before? Do you know the legalities involved?
How do you plan on marketing the business? What is your value proposition and how will you attract and retain customers?

I agree with jasaunders. Make a business or marketing plan (you can probably find some good samples online) and write about your business. Once you know more about it yourself, you will understand better what to do next.

I think you should find a different industry. Personal opinion obviously. Seems like the only reason you want the company is to make money.

Hmmm

Isn't an escort business really a nice way to say prostitution? I think when you get involved in the sex business you are just asking for all sorts of legal trouble. To say the least of your worries will be the girls. Trust me.

Not all escort businesses are engaged in prostitution. One of your main goals willl have to be proving that you are a legitimate firm. It can be done, and there are a lot of legitimate escorts out there, but it will require a lot of work.
