Business "Start Up" Checklist

LOCATE FEDERAL RESOURCES

To find a huge variety of federal resources, a centralized website will link you with all sorts of places. The trouble is, you need to be very precise with what you are looking for, or you can become buried in a sea of links and data.
Link: www.fedworld.gov
Link: www.business.gov is another great site which catalogues a tremendous array of resources.

LOCATE THE NEAREST SBA OFFICE

To find local and national SBA resources such as the location of the local office itself, the nearest SBDC or SCORE personnel, publications, and a host of other valuable sources of assistance, go to the SBA website.

STARTING YOUR BUSINESS

To find a great collection of helpful information, search the information resources of the US Small Business Information. Here you will find both free and for sale booklets and resources, some of which may be downloaded.

Link: The IRS provides another great source of very practical information and especially the reporting requirements for any small business. www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/bus_info/
