Step 2: Attend SBDC Smart Start Your Business Workshop
Start-Up Kit
The SBDC Small Business Start-Up Kit covers: The Business Beginning, Getting Started Small Business Resource Manual, and the Business Self-Assessment Checklist.
The Central Region SBDC Business Start-up Kit was developed with recognition that business start-up information in the State of Maryland is hard to come by in a concise and more complete package. The MD-SBDC/Central Region compiled this packet to help our SBDC clients and counselors in the business start-up process, making it more linear and efficient when researching for both Maryland’s requirement in the business start-up registration process and for the best resources for business planning. The packet's information or resources does not replace the need for a new business owner or entrepreneur to consult a professional such as the Maryland Lawyer Referral Service or an accountant when making decisions for their business type and activity.
The Business Beginning Section includes:
• Maryland recognized business entities

The Getting Started Self-Analysis Checklist includes:
• Self-analysis
