Workshop Income

Sources Of Information

If you're a regular reader of our "Workshop Income" column, you know that it's primarily aimed at readers who want to use their woodworking skills to make money. We concentrate on the business aspects of woodworking, and over the years we think we've provided a great deal of worthwhile information. Yet we've only scratched the surface. The business aspect of woodworking is so large that we can only begin to cover it in a bi-monthly column.

With that thought in mind, we felt that a listing of information sources would be in order. In this issue we'll cover publications available from the Federal Government's Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA provides assistance to small businesses, and the distribution of information is an important part of their work. While the subject matter is not specifically related to woodworking, the basic business information is of real value.

Small Marketer's Aids: These are 5-15 page leaflets offering suggestions and management guidelines for small retail, wholesale and service businesses.

—Checklist for Going Into Business

—Steps In Meeting Your Tax Obligations

—Getting The Facts For Income Tax Reporting

—Insurance Checklist for Small Business

—Advertising Guidelines For Small Retail Firms

—Plan Your Advertising Budget

—Do You Know The Results Of Your Advertising?

—Thinking About Going Into Business?

Management Aids: These are 4-7 page leaflets covering subjects of interest to managers of small manufacturing plants. Since a woodworking shop is, in effect, a small manufacturing plant, the information is appropriate.
