Wow! Crjav8er, I'm sorry you got burned by asking a reasonable question. Don't worry, I've been burned plenty on the forum too. I don't understand what the point of responding to someone's question with an unconstructive answer is all about. Pretty heartless if you ask me. >sigh<
I was an independent contactor so I know that won't really help. However, there is a "starting your own business for dummies" that I skimmed through and there was plenty of useful, straight to the point information in that book. My parents are starting their own business but they consulted with a lawyer, financial planner, blah blah blah....They took the expensive route! I personally would check out the business for dummies book. Best of luck on your business venture!
