The
idea of you and your friend
starting your own business is
so inspiring. I feel like most
of the letters I receive at
Ask Amy are letters
from people who hate their jobs
because they are being treated
unfairly in them. So it's nice
to see you taking control of
your situation.
As for where to start, since
I don't know what specific industry
you are embarking into, I am
going to recommend that you
contact the general "Women Owned
Business" information. For instance,
there is the National Foundation
for Women Business Owners (www.nfwbo.org) and the Small
Business Administration
has a Women's division. Each
of these can help you both with
a network and also with the
logistics. They both also have
information on how to leverage
capitol for your business. There
is also the Small Business section
at Women.com: www.women.com/smallbiz/ - though I'm
not as familiar with their resources.
I hope these suggestions help
and I wish you and your partner
lots of luck.
—Amy
