		<description>[...] Start-Up Costs - Remember all those items you thought you&#8217;d need? The accounting fees? The insurance? Figure out all your initial expenses and how much working capital you feel you&#8217;ll need to make it 3-6 months without income. Be realistic about your numbers: how much do you really need to spend on a computer, business cards, or a website? Also, remember costs like training your initial employees and paying any legal fees. Bplans has a nice article on this: Estimating Realistic Startup Costs. [...]</description>

		<description>Very informative article.  Not only do you outline what it might cost to get a business up and running (which most new business owners are interested in) but really begins to build the foundation on what can actually be expensed.  Most new business owners only realize this when tax returns are due and their CPA is saying you might have a couple of issues here.
Very well put together.</description>
