You're kidding me? How have you managed to raise a fund if you can't open a bank account? That said, this book covers some of the back office stuff for VCs: http://www.amazon.com/Venture-Capital-Private-Financing-Entrepreneurship/dp/0470591439/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y
Fantastic book that will cover everything in regards to the structure, salaries, etc.

I encourage you to read page by page. It's an awesome resource.
Now beyond that, the hardest part of starting a VC is obviously raising the capital or "raising the fund". Because a VC firm is really just a culmination of separate "funds". I would assume that you would be interested in seed stage investments since you dont sound too sophisticated, so you would raise a few million. This is where your network and resume comes through. Unless you know people in high places, you NEED to have experience as a startup founder, VC experience, consulting or investment banking. Minimum. If not, I'd suggest reading the book and spending a few years entering into these fields.
