More details to this question:
My business A Class Production offers creative services and audio production for radio stations, podcasts, media companies and business looking to promote on radio or TV. I operate as an online business, but do all my work at my home location, I already registered a DBA, received an EIN and am opening a bank account. I need legal help on how to set up and operate my business in PA. I don't know if I need state or federal licenses, how to write off expenses, or how to report my taxes and income properly to the IRS. I need help with knowledge and experience running a sole proprietorship in PA. Someone who understands every detail.

Congracts on starting your own business! That's an exciting time. You are wise to seek help. I would recommend that you retain an attorney (like me) to help you select and form a business entity (corporation, llc, etc). As for the other business services, you can get lots of help from 1) the small business administration website; 2) small business development centers -- usually associated with local colleges and universities (search sbdc.org for one local to you). Those places will have lots of resources for start-ups like you to help with business planning, bugeting and tax basics.
