I just wanted to write a quick note to encourage anyone interested in starting a business to really check their resources. I found a wonderful service called Business Answers provided by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development. It’s a simple little thing; you can fill out a short form to ask a question about starting a business, and someone at the Department will respond with an answer or with more information about who to contact when finding someone that can be good at showing your paystubs as proof of income. My fairly simple question was answered within a day, and I was very, very impressed.
I think it really just proves that having an actual person available is an invaluable resource in today’s world of FAQs.
Before any rumors start, any business proposition I would consider at this time would be a side thing for me. I’m not looking to make a major change in my work status anytime soon; I just wanted to see what it would take to try some things. Of course, nobody said my question had anything to do with Web development. The fun continues!
