How to get your Home Based Craft Business Started

How to get your Home Based Business Started

I have read hundreds of pages of step by step instructions on how to set up a business. There are more kits being offered than there are businesses starting up. Everyone has the answer but the answers are coming from people that make money by offering advice - most of which is BAD.

We, on the other hand, are a small home based business that has generated millions of dollars in revenue and would like to offer our help in getting you in the right direction. Below are links to unbiased FREE articles that we have written to give you some insight into starting a business. We have also included a list of every state with direct links to that state's website for forms and information on setting up your DBA, Tax Numbers, filing paperwork and getting free help. Most states include a downloadable PDF instruction booklet that outlines the exact process and tells you the forms you need to file. They will also usually have a toll free number that you can call for more information. Many of the state programs also have advisors that you can meet with for free.

Your tax dollars support these state agencies and they are there to help you. Do not get suckered into buying a startup package from an outside source that may not have correct information when the correct and current information is available for free.

Keep in mind that each state and every municipality have different laws and requirements, so reference your state website directly rather than taking general knowledge from online bloggers about the legal aspects of business. Taking advice from the wrong person can get you in legal trouble and land your business in the trash can before you even get started.

It's not that difficult to get started and in most cases you can set everything up in one day. You can open a bank account and be a legit business when you wake up the next morning.
