Small Business Advisor

Small Business Advisor is the ultimate front-end software that accompanies the million-selling book series entitled "Starting and Operating a Business in...." written by Michael D. Jenkins, an esteemed Harvard lawyer and CPA. This software is readily available now in electronic editions for all 50 states, with a shareware version that includes four superb state editions. It updates fully every 12 months, so you can always gain access to the most up-to-date information.

The software utilizes a technology that interviews you, allowing it to generate a customized version of the book for your state, in HTML format. Apart from this, it also grants you access to a unique business startup checklist tailored to meet your needs. Furthermore, to help you determine how well-suited you are to running your own business, the software administers an "Entrepreneur's Self-Test."

"Starting and Operating a Business in...." book series has been a go-to practical, legal, and tax guide for people intending to begin a business in any of the 50 states or D.C. since its inception in 1981. It was used as a reference tool in SBA offices in every state. However, the print version ceased publication in 2003. The new electronic editions for all 50 states and D.C. ensure full revision and updating in 2013, including the new federal "fiscal cliff" tax legislation of 2013.

The prior print editions of this book series were featured in a cover article by Inc. Magazine as one of the six "Best of the Best" small business guidebooks available. Forbes Magazine also conducted a thorough analysis of over 200 small business guides and established that almost none of them were worthwhile, concluding that only four such books could be recommended to business owners. The "Starting and Operating a Business" series was one of the four recommended books.

The software, combined with the book package, has revolutionized the book industry. Ronin Software and Michael Jenkins initiate a series of simple questions about your business. Utilizing your responses and the laws specific to your state, the software generates an entire customized book based on your situation, making it the ultimate tool for small business owners.
