Great questions.

Buying an existing business is a good idea because you already have existing clients. But always buy on the idea of what you can do to the business to make in grow - think of the future.

Building one takes a lot longer but is less costly - unless you can make a deal with the owner to pay for the business over time. This is a time vs money argument. You can always make more money, you can't make more time...

The first place to start is a business plan. Then a marketing plan.

These two things will help you in what you want to achieve.
I could keep writing, but check out the Source. It'll have a lot of what you need right there.
