Welcome
Legally constituted businesses may take one of the following forms: A sole proprietorship (business owned by one person); a partnership (business owned by two or more persons called partners); or a corporation (business formed by one or more persons called shareholders). However, within these forms exists many special types of business operations, such as home-based businesses, women-owned businesses and minority-owned businesses. This area provides links to setting-up businesses such as these, women and minority business certification information and links, and links to special resources, networking and applying for government contracts.
