my two friends and i might start an app/web development service.

the question is: how are three high school kids going to find clients that are ok with high school kids maintaining their apps & websites?

At least here, it's not actually legal.

@SortOfTested what isn't legal, specifically?

Nothing saying you can't - check local laws.

But do make sure you set the perception bar early, Otherwise your going to be delivering "X" to your clients and they are going to be expecting something that's from a well established business and get handed... something that doesn't meet expectations.

But hey, don't let that stop you!

Start on fiver/ freelancer/ small business in your area and build out from there, also.... get a lawyer!

As long as they are doing it for really cheap, clients won't have any problem.

Here specifically: anyone under 18 would be classified as child labor without parental dispensation and then can only work part time.

@SortOfTested @neeno we are seniors and are or will be 18 soon, so that's not an issue
