Few brand-new entrepreneurs start out with extensive knowledge of the tax, legal and accounting rules that govern small businesses. To make sure your business follows them all, consult with an accounting or legal professional before you hang out your shingle. You can find a great deal of free (or low-cost) support and training from organizations such as:
Local Business Information Center
Women’s Online Business Center
Small Business Development Center
Service Corps of Retired Executives
Many IRS offices offer tax training to entrepreneurs. Contact the nearest branch for information about dates and fees. Your community may also have organizations geared specifically toward helping women and minorities start, grow and fund small businesses. Talk to the nearest Small Business Development Center to find out what’s available.
