Starting A Business? Are you one of these people? A stay at home mom who would like playmates for your child as well as money in the bank. A handicraftsman blessed with a „crafty‟ talent, who has been told by countless friends that your work needs to be marketed commercially. A wizard with the mop who can save the masses from their own dirt. A „techie‟ who can work magic on the computer. A person with a blazing entrepreneurial spirit. If you are any of these, or a wannabe small business owner, the West Orange Public Library has just the right resource for you. The Entrepreneur Magazine has published a “How To” series, recently purchased by your Library. Each of the volumes is a detailed step-by-step guide for the novice who would like to set up his or her own business. It covers all the abstruse aspects of business in an easy style so that conceptualizing the business, financial and legal planning, as well as marketing strategies is clearly outlined. The Library has the following titles from the series: How To Start A Self-Publishing Business How To Start A Bed And Breakfast How To Start A Cleaning Service How To Start A Restaurant and Five Other Food Businesses How To Start A Child-Care Service How To Start A Medical Claims Billing Service How To Become An Internet Entrepreneur How To Start A Hair Salon Starting Your Own Business Successful Sales and Marketing Financing Your Small Business In addition to this easy-to-use series, entrepreneurs can also use two valuable business databases, Reference USA and Mergent Online, both of which provide detailed information on millions of American and Canadian businesses.
