I just checked out a book from the library that I just have to share! Its called The Small Business Start-Up Kit published by an organization called NOLO. If you are thinking of starting a business and have questions about how to get legal, it's an awesome resource!

They also have a website. Here's a link to the section on small business:

The chapters of the book include:
Choosing a Legal Structure (sole proprietor, partnership, etc)
Picking Winning Business Names
Choosing a Location
Drafting a Business Plan
Pricing, Billing & Bidding
Federal, State & Local Start-Up Requirements
Risk Management & Insurance
Paying Taxes
Issues for Home Businesses
Contracts and Agreements
Bookkeeping & Accounting
Changes in Ownership
Hiring Workers
Getting Professional Help

It's got answers to so many of the questions I see posted on this forum! Check it out!

Thanks for that tip. I'm going to read up on it. On the off chance that I'm ever going to be able to afford my own business.

Thank you for the information
