If I was to sell eggs as hatching eggs is there anything I have to do to them first ? i.e keep them warm for so many days.

Nope, all you have to do is make sure the eggs are a good shape and size, reasonably clean (but I wouldn't advise washing) and less than 7 days old when you send them (always send first class or special delivery to avoid delays) and eggs should be posted in polyboxes to prevent damage.

Thanks Matt

As well, when storing it is best to keep the eggs point down, it prevents the yolky bit getting pinched and stuck at the top. Meaning they last allot longer. I have used eggs before that are nearly 2 weeks old and have had brilliant results from them.

If you are going to sell hatching eggs then it's best if to check the fertillity yourself first
as most people want to know what your hatch rate is.
Also when listing hatching eggs, state hatching results but only replace on fertillity, there are too
many factors to consider, what with the postal system & incubators.
The postal system & Defra have new rules, which state that all hatching eggs must be sent by speacial delivery
& chicken keeper will only replace if the eggs have been sent that way.

Don't forget to turn the eggs at least every 12 hours before incubating, this prevents the membrane sticking, so you get better results.

I always turn my eggs 3 times a day, so they never spend the night resting
the same end as the night before.
