Sally would know better than me but I'm pretty sure the BBB can't do much unless the business is actually listed with them. At least when I was still married and we had our fence company that was the case. We found that out when applying for BBB membership. I'd do it anyway though.
Syber, I incorporated myself, no lawyers. You can call your township and get the proper info on how to do that and NOLO.com should have forms for you. Legalzoom.com does this stuff dirt cheap too! I think you can get an LLC for under $200 on that site.
I'm not trying to push you into anything you aren't ready to do, just letting you know my experiences with this kind of stuff so you know what you're in for or what to look for - you know what I mean.
As for anyone not getting anything out of you if you have nothing - bullshit! They can put a lein on anything you own -home, business - anything of any monetary value. Although your business isn't as risky as mine was, it's really not worth it if someone were to become slick and say you electrocuted him or some stupid shit. You'd be surprised what people here sue for - it can't be much different than anyplace else.
