We are constantly asked about what plans and programs we would recommend to a new business owner. The following represents some of our recommendations. If you have a good recommendation for other small business owners, please let us know!

Business Plan writing software. Self guided and comprehensive, this software guarantees that you will produce a professional and useful business plan!

Business Web site. Having a web site for your business is almost a necessity. Before you take the plunge, though, please visit these folks...they offer a LOT more than just the "quick and easy web site" that most places offer (which almost never actually deliver customers). These folks offer the whole package...easy to create web site, marketing, tracking, assistance, everything you need to have a successful on-line presence. Click here to watch the video.

Low Interest Business and Personal Loans! Who doesn't need money from time to time? Prosper is America's first people-to-people lending marketplace, created to make consumer lending and borrowing more financially and socially rewarding for everyone. If you have never heard of Prosper, PLEASE check it out!

Dental Plans. A necessity once you are on your own! These plans are comprehensive and affordable!

Telephone and FAX for small business. A professional web-based phone and fax solution especially for small businesses. As sophisticated as a large company's phone system, but it's a whole lot cheaper. You can also opt for their FAX-only service to send and receive faxes over the Internet using email. Includes a FREE toll free or local fax number and 300 free fax pages per month!

Business Cards - first batch is free! Professionally done, quick delivery. We use VistaPrint for our business printing needs.

Checks - no company can do business without checks! This company delivers custom checks really fast and (at least for us) at a much better price than the bank.

Business Forms and other printed matter. W-2's, 1099s, tax forms...these are absolutely essential for running a successful business, and nobody does it better that Deluxe. This is our #1 source for business forms! Please give them a try.

Printer Ink and Toner cartridges - face it, you have to have them! Here is where you can get high quality ink and toner cartridges for about 75% off the big store prices! We love them.
