Wife ran a small business (sole proprietorship, maybe easier than an LLC and never wanted an employee so was great) for about 3 decades. Similar thoughts to AdrianC's bulleted list. Accountant was the big must that we didn't DIY.
Now, think hard about that - DIY. You're your own everything, logistician, marketing, finance, etc. We set up a 401k too with Vanguard (now with Schwab, Vanguard has lost their edge) with not too much fuss and she's both plan admin and plan participant which is a little funky but all good.
