Marketing, Website Design and hosting, Financing Sources, Experts and Business Planning can all be found on the left hand navigation bar.

Communication Needs

Communication needs include Internet access, cheap mobile phones, telephone systems, email hosts and email distribution services. Retail businesses require credit card processing or merchant accounts, gateway services, shopping carts, and of course an easy to navigate store to show off their products.

Online Retail Services

For those conducting retail business online or off line, reliable wholesale providers are required as well as shipping and fulfillment houses. Wholesalers are the link between the manufacturer and your business. They can often provide a better price than if you contacted the manufacturer directly because they buy in large quantities for a number of different businesses.

Drop shippers mean you don't have to take possession of the product but can have it shipped directly to the customer from your source. Fulfillment houses take possession of your product and fill the orders and ship the products.

Insurance

Insurance is vital to your ongoing business. Of course you need standard business insurance, but your company may also require commercial auto insurance if you have company cars, trucks, or vans. Health insurance costs are skyrocketing as are medical care expenses. Even small businesses may qualify for group health insurance through associations. No one likes to think about it but being disabled for a short period of time, even as little as six months, can have a devastating effect on your business, perhaps even forcing it to close.

Office supplies, Furniture and Equipment

Whether you have a home office, executive suite, or full fledged office building, your business needs supplies, furniture and equipment. Office Furniture can be pricey. You don't need a mahogany executive desk and fine leather chair, but you do need a sturdy desk and comfortable chair. Don't use the dining room chair as a substitute. Your aching back will pay for it later. An alternative is Used Office Furniture. You can often find great bargains.
