The Toolkit was developed with recognition that business start-up information in the State of Maryland is hard to come by in a concise and complete package. This packet was compiled to help SBDC clients in the business start-up process, making it more linear and efficient when researching for both Maryland's requirements in the business start-up registration process and for the best resources for business planning.
The toolkit's information and resources do not replace the need for a new business owner or entrepreneur to consult professionals such as an attorney and an accountant when making decisions for their business type and activity. However, it can help you be better informed and able to understand their advice and do some of the steps on your own. The following resources are included:
