[Nfb-krafters-korner] Starting a Business in Crafts

[Annette Carr]

You will need to know about licenses and permits for the purpose of local
laws and zoning as well as for local, state and federal taxes.  

Greg's suggestion of getting in touch with your local Small Business
Administration is an excellent idea.

Thanks Annette and Joyce.  I haven't gone to any crafts shows, since I don't
know where any are located in my area and have no one to take me.  That
said, my boyfriend might be able to if it's during the weekend.  I'm
terrible with mathematics so all of this would just give me a headache if I
tried it on my own.  That said, I've saved your questions and will attempt
to work on them, if only for myself.  Your strategy for estimating is very
logical.  But I will still seek help in actually writing these things out.
I didn't know that you needed permits or a business license just to sell on
Ebay and/or Craigslist or on your own site.  I doubt that I could use my
income in the beginning to cover my monthly living expenses but they'll
probably lower my SSI payments etc. if I go this route anyway.  I'll check
into these resources if I don't hear back from my counselor etc.  I'm not
really sure how much The Comission would be willing to help me, since they
already paid for a part of my college education and for an independence
centre experience.  Still, it's worth trying.  But I'm really interested in
this online course.  It sounds doable and I don't need to worry about
transportation at all.

Thanks,
Eleni
