Setting up a Alarm Security Business

[atomb@xxxxxxxxxx]

I'm looking to start my own alarm install business and was hoping to
find out some info on bare bones essentials(licensing) to operate an
alarm biz in the state of new york. I really dont want to join
associations unless mandated by the state government  also I was going
to set up the company as a Limited Liability any thoughts on this?
thanks any help is much appreciated.
btw. Im looking to protect myself
