The federal government has a very useful website for small businesses: https://www.usa.gov/business
You’ll find all sorts of resources for:
- building a small biz community
- asking questions & discussing issues
- starting a small biz
- registrations, licenses, & permits
- legal compliance
- expanding your business
I was checking out the green biz practices this morning (thank you Jessica http://twitter.com/Mangojess). There used to be a nifty 10-step green guide for new business that was worth reading, but it no longer exists.
Of particular interest is step #4:
“Step 4: Buy Green Products
Consider buying green products that are
- Made from post-consumer, recycled materials
- Bio-based
- Non-toxic
- Energy efficient rated products, such as ENERGY STAR®
- Renewable and recyclable
- Locally produced, such as food that is locally grown and organic”
I encourage you to visit your local Farmers Market! For a listing of locations & times: http://www.massfarmersmarkets.org/
