It sounds like what I was recommending is a reasonable starter and you can look at adding and improving the video kit as you gain experience.
Have a look at some beginner tutorials on youtube how to use room lighting, how to frame a shot and how to set your audio levels.
Without knowing budget, it's a bit hard to know what to look at recommending equipment wise. Order of priority for spend would be camera 1st, audio 2nd, tripod 3rd. You will need all of these, however value for money will change with different size budgets.
If you are willing to buy 2nd hand, you could make the budget go further, but some business might not want to do this.
Here's a quick budget as an starter example only, you can go cheaper and you can go more expensive and you can add more items (bags etc) as you need to.
Camera + storage card $1000-1500 Canon XA11 (Amazon link)
Mic $450-600 Sennheiser G3 wireless lav mic (Amazon link)
Tripod $100-200 Ravelli video tripod (Amazon link)
The linked items are for illustration purposes to give you a starting point, there may be better options - go read/watch reviews as this is a fast changing market. If you are in the US, B&H are a well known and respected video retail brand (I am not affiliated with them at all), give them a call and get their advice for your budget, then go and research their suggestions.
If you do go with a wireless mic solution make sure you buy a set which transmits on a frequency suitable for your country as this does change around the world and check if you need a licence (there are usually some frequencies which are free to use, but might be more prone to interference).
