Is it legal to start an independent business that is related to the company that I work for now?

A buddy and I thought of an idea that will provide a service to a group of businesses that our employer deals with. Our employer cannot provide this service and we will not use company time or resources in any way to provide this service but we may not have known about the need for this service if we did not work for our employer. so my question is. Is it illegal to pursue this idea?
