One way is to find a local electrician that is a bit older and owns their own business. Someone that can hire you, train you, and eventually sell you an established business.
Another way is to contact the SBA S.C.O.R.E (score.org) and request a mentor. Their services are free and they'll work with you from concept to execution and beyond.
Finally, some communities have entrepreneur organizations that do the same as above, but usually in a more group approach to coaching you towards business ownership.
Check them all out to see what might be right for you.

I own a restoration company and have found that building a network of partners that service ANYTHING in the home will help bring referrals. If you already have the training in the industry, networking with these types of people will help bring in the business.
After providing good service for a couple years, you will begin to see return customers.

Hi there! This is great! First and foremost enter an apprentice program to become an journeyman electrician and get all of your certifications out of the way (which you will need to get insurance down the road). Find a great electrician to mentor you who supports you moving on to start your own business. Work the program and focus on becoming an electrician first, then start thinking about your business.
Look to getting some grants to help get your business off the ground. Join some local business groups who meet and share ideas (and help promote each others business). Many business start small and grow over time, and as you network you will find people who you can trust and want to work with.
For help getting started in your Journey you might find this link helpful with programs and scholarships for trades people.
