Default Moving to USA with my Internet business

Hi,
Myself my wife and 4 kids have already made the move out of the UK and have been living in the Canary Islands for 2 happy years.

I have a successful internet business with a UK client base, it can be run from anywhere with an internet connection. We are seriously considering moving to the USA, this we believe ticks more boxes long term with a growing family and would offer our kids greater opportunity. If we stick to the Eastern side say, Giorgia, Alabama or even Florida, this way I will have an early start at around 6AM (11 am UK, I have a colleague who also works for me in the UK to cover the phones on the time overlap) but will have the afternoons to myself my wife and kids.

My question really is this, I have read all about work permits and visas but nothing about moving an established business/1 man band to America, I am solvent with a reasonable amount of capital, how easy is it?

Anyone who has made a similar journey for similar reasons I would love to hear from although anyone who has anything constructive to offer I would be grateful to hear from also.

Any recommendations on location for a growing family would be appreciated. We like the simple life with a city maybe an hours drive away.

The real crux of this post is to find out what I need to do and what restrictions I will need to apply with in terms of moving the "business".

Regards
Adam
