month, the 17 federal chapters of the "Starting and Operating a Business
in..." books have all been regularly updated fully over each 12 months,
and are provided along with the recently updated state chapter, for each
of 50 states and D.C., and can be ordered now. For details on the books
and the front-end "Small Business Advisor" front-end software that comes
with each book, see our "Starting and Operating a

business news and information on particular topics, jump to any of the
following pages on this site:
COMMENT: There is a great deal of helpful small
business information on the Web, including plentiful tax and legal help,
but very little of it provides specific information for the individual
states. We think you will find our state-by-state summaries of state
laws, taxes, and startup assistance we are providing here to be the most
useful and comprehensive source of free or inexpensive
state-specific small business information to be found on the Internet. If
you find a better source, please let us know about it.... (So far, no
suggestions.)
If you find this site helpful, and would like to support our efforts, please
also download and try the free (shareware) version of our financial game program,
Wall $treet Raider. Unlike the real stock market, losing
a fortune in this simulation is just play money.... We think you'll like it, and maybe
learn a bit about investing, to boot. (And you might even become addicted and
decide you want the Registered Version....)
