Welcome to the Small Business Reference Shelf - Roninsoft.com
r u line? 
Ronin Software publishes useful, timely, and authoritative tax, legal and accounting information for small businesses, including our much-praised series of state-specific small business guidebooks, the "Starting and Operating a Business in California" (NY, Ohio, etc.) series. All 51 of the 2011 state and D.C. editions in this ebook series are now available for Kindle ($9.99 at Amazon.com's Kindle Store -- see the sidebar on this page).

Ebooks (not the Kindle versions) for each of the 50 states and D.C. are also bundled together with the free "Small Business Advisor" front-end (Windows ®**) software that instantly assembles a customized HTML version of the book edition for the state you choose on your computer after you answer a series of questions about your business. The result is a fully customized electronic book and detailed small business checklist, tailored to YOUR specific business situation and YOUR state laws, with comprehensive and always up-to-date small business tax, legal, and practical guidance (each about 450 pages, if you print it out with simple 1-click printing).

The print versions of this million-selling book series, published since 1981, were reintroduced several years ago by principal author Michael D. Jenkins, J.D., CPA in an expanded and updated electronic book + software format (for Windows ®**).

"Starting and Operating a Business in ..." (state) editions for all 50 states and D.C. have been fully updated and re-published in the last 12 months, on a rotating basis, where several state editions and "national" or "federal" chapters of each book are fully updated every month, throughout the year. In addition, all editions included with the Small Business Advisor software are immediately revised to reflect any major new federal tax legislation, such as the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 and the Tax Relief Act that extended the "Bush tax cuts" through 2011-2012. You won't find more up-to-date small business tax and legal information anywhere. Kindle editions are updated through their date of publication (all are 2011 or 2012 editions).

See the links (on the right side of this page) for more information on this exceptionally helpful and in-depth software/book combination. Free state information chapters are provided for several states on this site.

We also produce the Wall Street Raider financial/stock market game and simulation, which is described and offered on this site. Here you'll find the much talked about corporate financial and stock market simulator as a free download as shareware, as well as links to purchase and download the full, registered version of W$R and or the extensive W$R strategy guide online.
