I have developed a great trading system. Now what!!
First things first... the hedge fund company you establish is going to have to be familiar with and abide by the laws in your country.
You're going to have to determine how scalable your strategies are. In other words, does the percentage return begin to decrease after $x million dollars?
Find books on running/starting a hedge fund.
Find a business partner, consultant, or mentor to help you run the "business side" of the business (knowing the laws, seperation of funds, etc.). I wouldn't advise you giving this person a percentage share ownership in your company, maybe some non-voting shares, but not percentage.
You'll have to run this like a business, with marketing (if allowed by law), doing due diligence of investors finances (if required by law).
All of the above is going to require some employees and some seed capital to get things going.
FYI, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, until recently (or in the very near future) hedge funds in the U.S. traditionally haven't been allowed to do ANY marketing/advertising (some didn't even have websites), but they are required by law to analyze any potential investors current finances to qualify them as a customer.
