Simple Business Accounting
$49 - OWL Software

Designed for business owners, not accountants, OWL Simple Business Accounting (SBA) makes bookkeeping quick, easy and affordable. Unlike double entry systems, SBA's single entry method is intuitive. If you have used Dome books, you will be right at home with SBA. The single entry method is well suited to small businesses including sole proprietors, partnerships and S-corporations.

Favoring functionality over glitzy graphics, the customer designed user interface reduces input time and errors. Many of our users have come to appreciate SBA's elegant simplicity after being frustrated by Quick Books and other bloated accounting systems.

SBA's comprehensive reports are instantly available to help with business decisions. The reports are clear, concise and designed to organize income and expense information to support analysis of business activities, and preparation of taxes by either you or your accountant. Business success starts with intelligent money management and you can't know where you're going unless you know where you are.

SBA allows users to customize their data entry through the use of data folders. Each folder may contain income and expense data for a single business, a division within a business, or an individual. Reports may be generated for a single folder or for any combination of folders. For example, a property owner who dedicated a data folder to each rental property could report income and expenses for each property individually and all properties together.

Simple Business Accounting is linked to OWL Simple Business Invoicing and Inventory (SBII) management system which provides complete tracking of sales, customers, receivables and inventory. The combination of SBA and SBII provides a complete business management solution for many small businesses.

Jenkins, a Harvard lawyer and CPA, now available in electronic editions for all 50 states (4 state edtions included in shareware version).

The software also creates a customized business startup checklist for you and can administer an 'Entrepreneur's Self-Test' to help you determine how well suited you are to running your own business.

Since 1981, the "Starting and Operating a Business in...." book series, has been the standard tax/legal/practical guide to starting a business in any of the 50 states or D.C., until the print version ceased publication in 2003, and it was used as the standard reference in SBA offices in every state. The new electronic editions for all 50 states and D.C. have been FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED IN 2006-7. EACH INCLUDES NEW FEDERAL TAX AND ENERGY LEGISLATION and other 2006-7 law changes.

The prior print editions of this book series were chosen by Inc. Magazine in a cover article as one of the 6 'Best of the Best' small business guidebooks available, and Forbes Magazine, after an exhaustive analysis of over 200 small business guides, concluded that almost none of them were worth the paper they were printed on, but singled out the 'Starting and Operating a Business' series as one of only 4 such books that they could recommend to small business owners.

With this combined software/book package, Ronin Software and author Michael Jenkins have 'reinvented the book.' By asking you a series of simple questions about your business, the software is able to take your answers and instantly create an entire book, customized for you and your small business, based on YOUR facts and the laws of YOUR state.

Discstarter HTML CD-ROM Menu System
$125 - mirabyte GmbH & Co. KG

Discstarter is a highly customizable offline browser that allows the creation of modern, professional-looking menus and front-ends for CD-ROMs by using simple HTML. These front-ends meet the highest demands of quality and stability. Special programming knowledge is not required and you will not have to deal with complex authoring tools. Enhanced features for comfortable offline browsing are available, such as instant execution of EXE, ZIP, PDF and other file types directly from HTML pages. Any special system requirements for your menu, like activated JavaScript or the availability of the Flash(tm) plug in, can be easily tested by Discstarter. Also typical security features of normal web browsers such as popup blockers or warnings when clicking on a link that points to an executable file are disabled by Discstarter because it has been designed especially for offline content. So browser security features cannot mess up your front-ends and their functionality any more. Optional visual effects such as a drop shadow under Discstarter's browser window, or a smooth fade-in on startup, promote a professional look and feel to the user. A simple and clean looking Start Menu or a stunning multimedia application: everything is possible! Not only CD-ROM menus can be created using Discstarter, but impressive digital business cards, product or company presentations, catalogs, documentation and PowerPoint presentations can also be made. Other new media such as e-books or e-learning content can be easily created using Discstarter. Everything is done using HTML and other well known web technologies such as JavaScript, Flash(tm) or DHTML. This saves you lots of money and time because you can use the same content in many different ways e.g. for the Web, for print and now also for offline CD-ROM content. No other authoring tool offers this great synergy! Only a few clicks are required to set up a fully customized front-end.

Royal Business Package
$107.95 - GoldenStarEbooks.com

So you want to start a business? Don't know how? Give a thought to color when you start that business! It can play a big part in forming the size of your profits. Perhaps enthusiasm stands highest as a prerequisite for the home careerist. With this in mind, under no conditions select from this book an idea that you are convinced will make money, but for which you have no intense eagerness. Statistics reveal how many businesses fail because of inadequate records, lack of capital, and lack of competent business know-how; but there are no statistics listing the vast number of failures due to a simple lack of enthusiasm. This conviction and fervor for the product or service you decide upon is necessary if you are to bounce back after each mistakeâ??and you will make themâ??and go on to success. Before deciding upon a way to make money at home, the wise man will ask if he has the temperament to work for himself. Only an earnest, dependable person can make money at home. The man or woman working alone has no one to drive him; he himself must be the driver. No one will stand the expense of his mistakes; he must pay for them out of his own pocket. Only a person with the traits of reliability, stick-to-itiveness, and personal integrity is able to work for himself. How Can the package help? FULFILL a need and you'll create a service. The number of services yet to be offered in this country is only as limited as your own imagination. Hundreds of new services are still un-hatched thoughts. Find something that people don't like to do or can't do, do it for them, and you have a service. Too often your good ideas are left to die on the theory that if you could only live in a large city you could use those ideas to make money. Never underestimate the small town; tailor your ideas to fit your locality. One man, who was just another person trying to sell his advertising service in highly competitive New York, returned to Concord, New Hampshire, and his one-man agency now employs...
