I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nThere's nothing quite like research – the more you know, the better. There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Get in touch with your local Trading Standards there number should be in your Telephone directory. I work in retail and they have an obligation to supply to the customer. Without you they wouldnt be able to continue trade.

You should contact your local trading standards office - they will be able to advise you. Their phone number should be in the phone book, if you can't find it phone your local council.\n\nAlso have you thought about doing a business planning course?\n\nIf you are serious about starting a business check out the details on the site below...

Check out the Small Business Administration web site -- they're a great resource for the small business owner. I listed a couple of other handy links as well.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well -- see posted link.\n\nTry reading up on the subject -- check out Amazon, your local bookstore or library. \n\nHope that helps!

I suggest something like your country/region name followed by ground and or land like usalands or usagrounds..\n\nIt'll give your company a reputation of not just limited to your region..

First of all you need a business plan.  You can find the "how too's" of them on the internet for free anywhere. If you have a home or some collateral this would be a good thing to be able to put into the business plan. Then go to bank's and investment companies (it helps of you know an investment person), and don't give up.  The Small Businesss Adminstration (SBA) is a good place for info also.  There is so much good information out there places on the internet, and I am speaking of business web sites not just any fly by night.  American Express as well as others has a small business section that has articles and such.  I am attempting to do the same thing now for our business for growth capital.

We had trouble getting users on to our Intranet site and so we put things that were up to date a relevant on there.  These included 2 sections, one section for work, and one to entice them:\n\nWork Related:  Maps to locations, Daily Sales, Announcements, Calendars, Hot News, Presentations, Phone List, Policies, New Products, Company Information.\n\n\nEnticements:  For Sale Board, Holiday Bookings, External News, Work Dos, Share Information.\n\nWe found that if you start by keeping it easy and then build it up when it's already live this works much better.  Easy links are the key.

There are masses of articles on Business and Small Business at http://www.hammocksurvivalguide.com/\nAmong loads of other categories that might be relevant. Best of all, they are all FREE!

I recommend Quickbooks Pro. The software is relatively inexpensive but will do everything you need for a long, long time. It will help you set up an appropriate chart of accounts, and if you find you need to add accounts later, it is a breeze.

If you are going to really use it for a comercial enterprise do NOT use Access. You will regret it.  There are better ways. I'd be happy to get you started. Likely there is a template you can easily convert to what you need to do. Email me with details.
