Dreaming of being your own boss, setting your own schedule and making a living doing something you enjoy? Of course! But, it’s not always that easy knowing where to start… And, becoming a successful entrepreneur requires lots of thorough planning, creativity and dedication.

One resource that we’ve found particularly helpful for our members who are starting up their own business is a federal website called Business USA. The site has many easy to use wizards that guide you through all kinds of information that are useful to many small business owners.

It’s a one-stop shop for small businesses. You’ll find information about:

  • Government resources to help you access financing for your business startup
  • Growing your business and developing a marketing plan
  • Opportunities for federal government contracting programs
  • Recruiting, hiring, training and retaining employees
  • New insurance options and other health care changes

There’s even a wizard that will show you tax credits and resources that your business may be eligible for once it’s up and running.

Starting your own business can be super exciting and an extremely fulfilling experience. So, good luck and go get ‘em.
