If you are just thinking about starting your own small business, one source of helpful resources is the United States Small Business Administration website.
Take a look at this page on the SBA website : http://www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/plan/getready/index.html
The page features :
- The SBA’s Small Business Start-Up Guide, containing information on more resources, planning, financing, marketing, and more.
- You can download a FREE, helpful Online Business Guidebook (ideas for starting an online business, provided by the Virginia Tech Foundation)
- “Is Entrepreneurship For You?” provides considerations for someone thinking about starting and managing their own enterprize.
- And even FAQs for starting a business, and a glossary of professional business terms.
The Internet has a wealth of information to share. As my son always says, “Google is your friend.”
