Working with New Businesses - Startups

When making the decision to start your own business, the questions seem to come a lot quicker than the answers.  Unlike most people starting an enterprise, we've been through the process many times.  Obviously, even our clients with established businesses started sometime.  We make it a practice to find out what worked for them and try to get a feel as to how they would do it if they had to start all over.  There are few endeavors that present the need for making more decisions than starting a business.

Issues to be addressed include:  registrations, phones, computers, to e-business or not, business cards, letterheads, bookkeeping, personnel, office space or home office, lease or purchase needed equipment, and figuring out how to work 28 hours a day.
