Encouraging business

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. 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!
