Websites to visit for Business Assistance

SCORE

SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business" is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with free, confidential face-to-face and email business counseling. Business counseling and workshops are offered at 389 chapter offices across the country.

This site is better than ever! Last time I had made a visit to the site, I had to go through the Small Business Administration website. Not anymore! The first thing I notice is that they have free monthly email newsletters. I signed up for all of them.

These are retired legal experts and you choose from those available in your own state. They stay up on current laws and changes; retired just means they don't go to the day job anymore. I depend on our tax advisor to answer any and all questions about our business venture. I ask and he gives the advice I need to make our business decisions. He takes the time to explain the how and why. We bought the TurboTax program and when I still ran into more questions, he explained every term and what to put where and why. This is a US government site and an excellent resource.

US Business Advisor

This is another part of the US Government. It's run by the Small Business Administration but so much more now. Links to many extremely useful places. I plan on going back later and look around.

Entrepreneur Magazine

I had posted this site in the Free Stuff Section since they offer a free trial issue of their magazine. Look over the website first to enjoy all the articles and ideas. I did sign up for the free issue and marked it bill me later. They say they will send a free gift even if I don't decide to subscribe. We will see.
