The links and resources provided by Christine are great, and gives you all the information you may need. Of course, other consideration worth taking into account are: - State Taxation laws & rates differ from state to state - Distribution Channels - easy access, and speed - Buyer preferences for certain products and services may vary considerably between geographic location, within the U.S.A. - Cost of Operations vary between states (cost of warehousing, payroll, etc.) ............. to name a few. Best of luck with your venture. George

thanks a lot for the help
