We recommend that you start with your local Small Business Administration (SBA) office for start-up and financial information. Go to the SBA Web site and select the “Financing Your Business” button for detailed information. Your local SBA office can be located by choosing the “Your Local SBA Offices” button. This will bring up a map of the United States. Then select your state. You may also want to the check the listing of frequently asked questions posted within the SBA Web site. We also recommend visiting the EPA Small Business Gateway where you can search for a variety of options and information (financial and otherwise) for small businesses. In addition, you may want to check with the EPA Small Business Ombudsman service for guidance and explanations of environmental regulations. This service can be reached at their toll-free hotline (1-800-368-5888) or at EPA’s Small Business Ombudsman.
