The federal government has a very useful website for small businesses: http://www.business.gov
You'll find all sorts of resources for:
• building a small biz community
• asking questions & discussing issues
• starting a small biz
• registrations, licenses, & permits
• legal compliance
• expanding your business
I was checking out the green biz practices this morning (thank you Jessica http://twitter.com/Mangojess). There's a nifty 10-step green guide for new business that is worth reading: http://www.business.gov/start/green-business/green-guide.html
Of particular interest is step #4:
"Step 4: Buy Green Products
Consider buying green products that are
• Made from post-consumer, recycled materials
• Bio-based
• Non-toxic
• Energy efficient rated products, such as ENERGY STAR®
• Renewable and recyclable
• Locally produced, such as food that is locally grown and organic"
I encourage you to visit your local Farmers Market! For a listing of locations & times:
