Welcome to the forums, ATR! Any particular focus for the business you're wanting to start?

Welcome to the Technibble Forums! You'll probably come across some uncomplimentary posts about GeekSquad. Please keep in mind that these are generally about Best Buy as a whole, not about individual agents such as yourself. I'd be interested to heard about your experience working for GeekSquad. Also, some more details about your time as a pro gamer would be welcome in General Chat. Cheers!

Welcome!

What area were you a geek squad agent at?

IMO, you can only learn so much there and the rest is just automation. Stick a disk in, if that doesnt fix it then remote connect to AJU and they fix it. Now that they are consolidating stores geek squad has more responsibilities such as being in charge of returns. For most people Geek Squad is just a stepping stone though.
