Nice book suggestion. I'm going to check it out soon. I'm looking to start my own business, well, buy one actually. I just don't know where to start browsing to see if anything is available. Would you happen to know of any useful sites?

Hey Kate, I would start with your local Chamber of Commerce to see what's available in your area. Otherwise, I'd check out websites like biztrader.com to see what's available. It was built with entrepreneurs in mind. Great way to find a small business on the internet.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just checked out BizTrader.com, and I made the leap in contacting a seller! Ahhh... I'm a little nervous. But the website itself was really straightforward and easy to use. Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it.
