A Message From the Administrator of SBA
When I started a small business in Los Angeles, I quickly discovered
how much time was necessary to just stay on top of paperwork, licenses,
regulations, taxes and the numerous other requirements of operating
a successful business.
I wish there had been a resource like the CD-ROM in this package.
Now there is.
Here are all the business tax forms, instructions, and publications
you need to start and maintain an efficient and compliant small
business. There are also valuable business topics such as preparing
your business plan, financing, how to price your products and the
best ways to market them.
The comprehensive directory of resources includes: Business Alerts,
Tutorials, and on-line links to many important Government agency
information web-sites and e-mail update services. The business
tax topics include required records, labor laws, retirement plans
and taxpayer advocate services, and many many more.
For additional information and regularly updated laws and regulations,
go to www.business.gov,
your SBA gateway to dozens of resources
which provides a comprehensive guide to important legal information
for America's small businesses. You can locate
your nearest SBA office.
This is another example of your Government continuing to simplify
and make accessible the resources you need to be a successful business
person. Please use this latest version of the Small Business Resource
Guide to save valuable time and money.
