Business advice
The Service Corps of Retired Executives provides business advice on its Web site. Despite the organization's name, some members are still working.
You can arrange to meet with business owners and executives for free advice. You can meet in person or communicate via e-mail.
SCORE also sponsors entrepreneurial workshops for which it charges a small fee.
Tax information
Believe it or not, the Internal Revenue Service also has freebies.
Search the IRS's home page for "Tax Calendar." You'll find the Small Business Tax Calendar. It provides instructions and options for filing business taxes. It also lists filing deadlines.
You'll also want to check out the IRS's introduction to federal taxes for new businesspeople. You can watch the video on the IRS site or order a free CD.
Shipping materials
If you ask, the United States Postal Service will send you shipping materials. You can get boxes in all shapes and sizes. Additionally, free forms and stickers will help you prepare mailings.
The USPS also provides information on direct-mail marketing. It offers templates for creating your own mailing pieces. Or, you can find links to private providers.
