Do you have success/good things to say about any in particular? I am sure Google can give me a bunch, but love to get good recommendations

I think an apprenticeship sounds great, and absolutely intend on seeking one out as I get a little closer timeline-wise. Thank you so much for your advice!

You should look into the organization called SCORE. It is funded by the Small Business Administration (Federal) and has chapters Nationwide including two or three in New Hampshire, and I'm fairly sure they have Massachusetts chapters as well. It is made up of retired and active business people, lawyers, etc. Locally here to me they have office space in the Federal building in Manchester. They will help you with all aspects of your business. This was started by the SBA because of the failure rate of new businesses. You'll fill out an intake form, meet with someone initially so they can determine your needs and then they will assign you to a mentor or more. It's absolutely free. Edit: SCORE

I would start with mass and nh, since you’re living there. Almost guaranteed that Boston metro has more demand than nh as a whole. There are various firms for legal and insurance that will help you establish yourself across New England as the states are so close together and they can benefit from your business expanding as well. Might be worth it to spend a year apprenticeship with another company to learn the niche areas of the piano tuning industry over here, and maximize your potential when you start your business
