SBE Council 'Business Tax Index' Ranks State Tax Systems - PR Newswire (press release)
14.04.09
OAKTON, Va., April 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) published the "Business Tax Index 2009: Best to Worst State Tax Systems for Entrepreneurship and Small Business," which ranks the 50 states and District of Columbia according to the costs of their tax systems for entrepreneurship and small business. According to the nation's leading organization advocating for entrepreneurs, elected officials in the states need to pay careful attention to their state's competitive position regarding taxes, particularly given the dismal state of the nation's economy.

Raymond J. Keating, chief economist for SBE Council and author of the report, said: "Taxes have been piling up on small business owners, and the cumulative burden is particularly painful in a down economy like we are suffering right now. Unfortunately, state and local officials continue to increase a variety of levies without a firm grasp of the burdens they impose on small businesses and their state's overall competitiveness."
"Communities Print Own Currencies to Keep Money Local" FOXNews (April 9, 2009)
"GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — It looks like Monopoly money, but the colorful currency created by collaborators in the western Massachusetts town of Great Barrington is legal tender.
"The creative cash is called 'BerkShares,' a play on words, referring to the mountainous region called the Berkshires, where businesses and citizens have come together to support each other in these tough economic times...."
An interesting idea. I think I can understand the feelings behind having a strictly local currency: but I'm not at all sure that this is a good idea. Beyond Great Barrington, Massachusetts and BerkShares: Business Bucks The idea behind BerkShares is something that businesses can (and do) use: an association of businesses can agree to treat ChamberBucks, or whatever, as real money. Accounting could be tricky, of course.
I've got a notion for using the idea of 'play money' in an online setting, too - oops. Too late. It's gone now.
Maybe it'll come back.From Starting a Small Business Without Losing My Mind

Is there grant money available to me if I want to start a woman owned small business??
Apr 01, 2008 by Construction Chick | Posted in Small Business
I was thinking about starting my own small business in Massachusetts.
I was wondering if there was any federal/state funding/grants available for something like this?
It would be a do it yourself dog wash. There are few outside of Boston but none in the city.
Please let me know and provide links/information if you can! Thanks! :)
Go to http://www.grants.gov for a list of government grants and how you can apply for them. However, there are no grants for a for profit business unless you are opening a daycare and then it is a minimal amount. If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan. No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.
Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.
SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.
