Welcome Entrepreneurs!

Americans are by nature independent. Even before we became the United States of America and North Carolina, individuals who settled here started businesses. Today, hundreds of years later, small businesses are the heart of the American — and North Carolina's — economy. The American economic system, the number of opportunities in North Carolina, and the wealth of resources available to help small businesses, combine to make starting and maintaining a thriving business an achievable dream.

If you are serious about starting a small business or expanding a business in North Carolina, this guide should get you started. This CD has been produced to assist those new to business ownership. However, it is designed to also be helpful to current growing businesses and those looking to relocate to this state. Whatever your level of experience, this guide provides information we hope you will find useful when doing business in North Carolina.

To make the most of this guide, view it on a computer with access to the Internet. If you do not have Internet access, you may visit your local library for free use of the Internet.
