Any business is a world in itself and unique by definition.
I could try to help with more specific questions

Light is free… capturing it is not!

There are going to be location-specific issues that are best answered by someone familiar with local requirements. Most of what you need to know has nothing to do with photography, so suggest you seek local expertise at the same time you request help on specific points about a photography business.

What, precisely, are you asking about?

Try professional photographers organizations like asmp.org or PPA, or look at the Small Business website, http://www/sba.org to learn what would be involved in running a business.

From looking at your website you might want to think about working on bringing up your skill level to be able to be competitive. You have some nice photos but some could use improvement to look like professional work. There seem to be inconsistencies in color quality, white balance, etc. Pay more attention to where you're setting up shots and what the background looks like; make sure the camera is straight, and think about how you're framing shots, notice where there are trees so they aren't directly out of the top of subjects' heads or that part of a chair or car etc. isn't sticking into corners or edges of photos.

Before you get too much further along I'd suggest getting more practice in framing shots and learning about composing images so you can be successful. There seems to be a saturated market so it seems to be challenging to build a photography business.
