Government Publications

The government issues a large number of publications to assist small businesses, but we're only going to mention the most useful ones. You can order these from the Government Printing Office for a fee or you can go to a government web site and read or print it. If you go to a web site, try looking under "publications" or "help" to see what they have to offer.
