In October of 2010 I did my first Expo. Once I saw that my items were selling, I started researching how to go from being a "hobbiest" to a business.
Keep in mind that I knew absolutely nothing about the business side of things...Basically everything I read about licensing and taxes, and all the other things you need to know, was foreign language to me.
We were in the midst of moving from Fort Benning, GA to Fort Knox, KY (which is nothing new since the Army sends us everywhere) so it took be about 5 months to look at stuff on my own before I realized I could go the the SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER once we were settled.
www.ksbdc.org They were AMAZING at helping me through the whole process.
There are A LOT of things and paperwork that you need to have and filed in certain orders. I was given a step-by-step guide with websites and contact information and it was actually really easy after I had that.
