smwpe,
I am 41 and have been with the same firm for 15 years.
I am licensed in Iowa & Illinois as a PE.

I am seriously contemplating starting out on my own with a civil consulting business. I have some clients who, I believe, would come along.
My question is, when and how do you approach them to get a commitment? You don't want to do it too soon or too late.
Thanks. Hawk87
