As for licenses, check with your county for the requirements for starting this business. Translation is often not included in professions that needs to be licensed before it can operate, but it is best to check with your local county.
You may want to consider getting certified by the following organizations:
- Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) http://www.iti.org.uk/indexMain.html
- American Translators Association (ATA) http://www.atanet.org/
- Société française des Traducteurs (SFT) http://www.sft.fr/

I know a guy I went to high school with who created a court translation service. He is doing very well, but had to become certified with the courts. He then has translators that speak different languages that translate in court proceedings, and official documents.
Seems to be an interesting venture.
