Have you ever heard of "Small Business Loans". In our "service" business, "hopefully", you do not need a lot of "capital" to get started. Maybe a couple of thousand if you are wanting to do extensive shop work. But for just tuning and minor repair, you should be able to start with under $1,000.00 dollars. And if you start by tuning pianos at a dealer, a minimum "kit" should be under $500.00.
