I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I would have to see what if any non-compete papers you signed with the hospital you work at and would need to know a little more about the company you are planning to put up. There should not be any restrictions to the extent that the small company is not illegal/engaging in illegal activity. I suggest setting up a Limited Liability company and make yourself a member for purposes of liability. Without knowing more i cannot advise you further. But you should be ok.
