I get asked for assistance in starting a business all the time. Unfortunately, I can’t answer the questions because the process is different for starting a business in every state, even down to the county and city levels. Also, I caution you about asking on the internet for assistance from other small business owners, unless the person answering you is in the same location.
Today, I’ve compiled a list of websites that will help you answer the question: Where do I go to start a business in my state?
Please help me keep this post up-to-date. If a link above becomes broken, simply leave a comment to let me know so that I can update it.

Thank you Kathy! Your words mean the world to me – you honestly don’t even know. I’m thrilled that your husband is on board, too. It sounds like you have all the makings of a wildly successful business start. Best of luck and share a link once you get set up, I’d love to see. Warmly, Christine
