You’ve taken the time to read this information and probably learned a lot about starting a business, but where should you go from here?

Take the time to prepare a comprehensive business plan.  Think about what you want out of your business.  How do you intend to meet your goals?  What will you need to get started—tax advice, financing, management assistance, legal advice?  Then use your business plan when you meet with your banker, lawyer, or accountant.

Don’t hesitate to contact your local Small Business Development Center, or other resources listed.  Helping you get your business off to a good start is our number one priority.
