Freelance programming doesn't require any more capital than owning a computer. Anyone can start by contributing to open source projects.

That's not "starting a business," that's just finding work.

It's a business in every way (be sure to register it with the government as a business). You can turn it into leverage by finding gigs for your programming friends, handling the negotiation, billing, and payment and thereby collecting a percentage. In fact, you can become quite wealthy doing this.
