Bizprimer.com (HOME) is designed to be your online mentor for small business success. Two people share the primary responsibilities for the concept and design of the site and are introduced in the boxes to the left.

The home page of Bizprimer is set up in the order a novice should follow before starting a new business. The first step is the search for information. The more you know about a business, the more likely you are to succeed without making costly mistakes.

As part of your search, you must decide whether to incorporate or to remain a sole proprietorship. So make the decision easy by visiting To Inc. or not to Inc.

The next step is to develop a plan. Just as we offer advice and examples on performing a business search, we also offer advice on how to develop a business plan.

Just in case our advice on searching and planning is not as clear as we had hoped, we have an open discussion board where you can seek advice or assistance on searching and planning.

In some cases, the quest for information and model business plans is relatively simple, because the type of business is well established. Even with newer web businesses, the research and planning should still be done if the business is to succeed.

After the business is ready to operate, promotion is essential. Bizprimer offers one form of promotion, E-Classifieds. Not every business needs to advertise on the web, but if you do this is a great place to start.

There are two navigational aids for our site. Click N Go has all of the major areas defined on the Home Page and the Biz Index offers fast links to hot topics and our interactive business forms.

At the start of each section, you will meet our "Little Tycoon" who describes the objectives of the section which are necessary to complete your business plan.
