Tools to do a wheel change( jacks etc)
Oxygen cylinder
Nitrogen cylinder
A small tug
A good tool kit.
A couple of descent ladders.
Tow bar.
That's a good a good start.

Have a look at the MEL..and what that says about " go / no-go " items for a start.
Ensure you already have AOG arrangements and agreements in place, rather than do a blue ar£4d fly job when it goes for a can of worms one dark night.
Any data on the type regarding known maintenance problems, and those which can be classed as regular occurrences over time.
A safe / secure location for ALL the spares.
Other suggestions.
ALL the relevant MM's..or least access to such in one format or another
Brake units / nose and main wheels.
Hyd fluid
Eng oil / IGD oil
Filaments (internal and external)
ACM and associated sensors.
APU accessories such as gen. / lop.switches
Generator
Hyd pump.
Hyd /engine oil filters.
Anti- ice controllers ( airframe / engine)
Cabin px controller
Battery
Full complement of blanks / bungs / covers and pins
Split pins / locking wire / speed tape...just in case !
Cabin. never worked in the biz jet world, but I would imagine the pax can be a bit "demanding"....so
Toilet timers / pump / water heater
Urn / Bev maker / Oven / Galley timer
Seat covers / recline / louvres / blinds / IFE / spare seat(s)/ cushions
Life jackets / escape slide ??
Tables
Armrests
Others on here will no doubt add to the list, but most of us will be intrigued as to why you have posted the question in the first place..
And finally, the most important item.....generous T's and C's for the engineer(s)!

Bluehawall good question and like KnC I am intrigued to the reason behind the post.
My answer would be that it would depend on your location. If you are not from an aviation engineering background a lot of money can be wasted buying equipment / spares that are rarely used. Equipment hire as required is a better option than trying to equip to cover all possibilities.
Do not know your location, but if Europe then there is the dreaded EASA. You would need a full understand of EASA OPS, EASA PART M and EASA PART 145 for starters. Your company would need to get EASA approval to maintain aircraft and what specific types of aircraft and scope of work.
Then there is your customers aircraft. They would have to have agreements in place with you based on the maintance procedure drawn up as part of their Continued Airworthiness Programme.
Appointing an experienced engineer would be a priority to help get through this minefield.
Tooling and spares will only play a small part of setting up a line maintenance operation.
In this present climate would you get the customers to make your business viable.
Any way Good Luck and I hope you succeed.
