The Advisor
GOVERNMENT SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCES
by Dr. Robert Sullivan,
The Small Business Advisor
Don't forget the
United States Government Printing Office (GPO) as an excellent source
of small-business information. I've listed below some of the more useful
resources for the small business owner or entrepreneur. In some cases,
the information will be a little out of date but then most items are quite
inexpensive.
Order from the Government
Printing Office by calling (202) 512 1800 or faxing (202 512 2250. (Only
credit card orders accepted by fax) Payment may be by check or credit
card (Visa and MC). You can also visit one of their stores located in
24 cities throughout the United States. A listing is at the end of this
article.
The Government Printing
Office also maintains an extensive website at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs
Some of the information contained in the publications below are available
on-line from the GPO site or other government sites.
