Well, I've been planning on setting up an 01FFL side business for some time now. This month, I've started to get the ducks in the row for just that. I've got the paperwork, essentially, completed and ready to be sent off the first week of next month.

I started this thread for two reasons:
- This is sort of the unofficial check list I created. I'm sure I missed something, so any recommended revisions would be great.
- I know we have dealers on board who have "been there, done that" and I would value any tips, thoughts, etc.
