The first thing you need for any business idea is not money, is not partners but a Lawyer. They have their legal fees and charges, but since all you have is just ideas; You don't have to hire one fully from start, there are some that can work out their charges in tiny fractions for the services tou need.
At all cost look for one that can guide you through all of the above, you can start paying fullt for retaining one in full service much later.
