I suggest that you do not run an ISP from your home, as that will be expensive. You will have to have all the wires ran directly to your home. Also, you will be in a bad situation if your business ever grows (where will your staff go?).
What you may be looking for is an ISP reseller. This is basically where you pay a small fee for all the hardware and tech support, then you get the clients and charge whatever amount you want.
I quickly did a google search (in other words, they may be con-artists, they may be great, use your own head) and came upon this website:
