Start with the SBA – The SBA or otherwise known as the Small Business Administration is a great place to start when you’re looking for small business advice.  With the SBA, you’re going to get access to tons of resources and answers to the questions you may have.  Be sure to have this resource as the number one place to visit when you’re seeking out advice.

Join a forum online – The Internet is a huge world and I bet you any money there’s a ton of business owners out there looking for the same answers you’re looking for.  Simply by stopping at small business forums will allow you to register and ask questions.  99% of the time, the board will be more than willing to help you succeed.

Use the library- The library in your area is probably opened to many business resources.  If you need help with advertising, see what kind of books they offer.  If you’re interested in taxes, I’m sure there are books about taxes as well.  I think you’ll get the clue.  Books are a great opportunity to learn about the things you’re questioning.  Find a great book, sit back and soak in all the information available.
