Hi mhamilton and welcome to the Business.gov Community! What an exciting endeavor you are about to embark upon! I'd encourage you to check out some resources on Business.gov and other government sites, before you get started. For example, the '10 Steps to Starting a Business' section may be helpful. Will you be operating your business out of your home? If so, then the Home Based Business resources section will likely be very useful to you as well. I also encourage you to post specific questions in the relevant Discussion Forum as more users visit the forums and will be more likely to comment on the discussion that you begin. Finally - I encourage you to reach out to the many other online business owners who are part of the community. We just welcomed a new user, DrMath, for example, who also owns an online business. You can click on a user's profile to read more about him/her and also see options how to contact to them. Good luck and looking forward to you being part of the community! -JenniferD Message Edited by JenniferD on 03-03-2009 02:45 PM
