It’s as easy as finding clients. You can create a legal business in a couple of weeks for about $700 or less. Be more specific.
One place to start is the North American Securities Administrators Association, under Industry and Regulatory Resources.
Another good place to look is the Certified Financial Planner webpage (http://www.cfp.net/ ). You may not wish to become a CFP, but they have some good resources on the page. Another organization is the Financial Planning Association (http://www.fpanet.org/ ).
Mainly, depending on what you do, you may need to become a Registered Investment Advisor, which entails a lot of regulation and compliance.
Good luck.

It’s a nice goal, but you might have a difficult time finding clients on your own with no previous experience other than property taxes. The finance degree is good, but few people will trust their investments to someone who hasn’t done it before in the real world. No offense, but I certainly wouldn’t.
Plus, you may have a problem getting securities licenses on your own. I believe that you have to be sponsored by a securities firm to get some of them.
You might be better off joining an existing firm for awhile even if you prefer not to. You can get better training, get your licenses, and build up a clientele. Once you’ve established yourself, you’ll have a much better chance of going on your own and being successful.
Good luck!
