sal Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Hello all - My cousin and I have been talking seriously for a while now about starting a small business sometime in the next 3 to 4 years. It just so happens that his wife has a natural talent for brewing some of the BEST beer I've ever tasted and we'd like to open a small brewery/drinking establishment. The problem is that I know nothing about how to get started and I was hoping to find some good reading material that might point me in the right direction. Can anyone, small business owner or not, recommend a good book that they found useful on opening a small business? Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

catesta Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 You may want to check the SBA site. Here and I've got no personal experience with this book, but it seems to be okay. Small Business Start Up Good luck! Quote

ejp626 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I guess the only word of caution is that businesses involving food and particularly alcohol are going to inevitably bring more scrunity and licensing issues. Also, given the tax situation, you'd probably be better off opening up outside of Cook County, probably in Will or Kane County. Quote
