I have, I run a sole-proprietor business as a tailor/alterations person and cosplay commissioner. It's...not the smartest thing I've done with my life but it did keep me afloat during some hard years when outside employment was not possible.

The first thing you need to research is what type of business legality applies best to yours - sole-proprietor, LLC, Inc, etc - and what licenses and legal processes are needed to set it up and keep it going. Second thing is to get yourself an accountant who understands self-employment and small business taxes (and you can afford). Most of what you need to answer questions is on the internet for free, but when it comes to paying for licenses (some are free, some are not) and things like accountants and lawyers, that's an expense a lot of people don't factor in.

It really depends on what the business is, though. A person like me selling items and taking commissions for individual clients will have vastly different experiences and needs than someone running a small business with employees, doing a service business only with no retail, etc.
