I suggest you study existing IT Security companies - what/how/why they do.
Here's a compiled list of IT security companies:

Initially, we will be offering mostly support/administrative functions for Microsoft platforms, but my passion is networking (I am a cisco guy first and foremost..), and security- although I am relatively new to the security arena. I'm all about doing things the right way, and not taking shortcuts. That being said, would anyone think it'd be out of my league to study up, and begin offering low-level basic security audits for small businesses to gain experience and build business? I am not trying to do an enterprise audit, or anything out of my league, but think I could manage something for a small business as it relates to basic testing, patches, vulnerability's, etc. I would appreciate any advice you all can provide. I've been lurking on the list for a while and have learned a lot. Thanks guys.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
