1. Need to know what state laws apply to your business? It can be hard to track down the website for the appropriate state or local offices. But there are two websites that link to state and local governments.
State and Local Government on the Net is operated by a private group — it’s not a government site. But the links are particularly useful.
The Library of Congress also maintains links to government offices.
2. Looking for an investor? Angel investors provide funding to entrepreneurs. Over $23 billion was invested in new businesses by angel investors in 2005. Check this website for a directory of angel capital groups — perhaps you’ll find one in your area.
3. You may not like hearing from the IRS, but their website has a wealth of tax-related information and downloadable forms.
4. Trade associations are an amazing source of information, data, and advice for entrepreneurs; since I couldn’t find an easy-to-use list of associations on the web, I compiled one myself and put it on my website.
5. RedRoller is a one-stop shipping solution that lets you compare rates and service options among top carriers and then complete your shipping transactions in a snap.
