Starting a new business is exciting, scary, exhilarating, confusing, and freeing. But, mostly it’s a lot of work. There’s a bunch of steps you need to do in order to get started right. You can do some research and discover most of these steps, but what if there was a way to get a free, hands-on consultant to walk you through all of the various start-up related tasks.

Well, and you knew I was going to say this, I’ve found one for you. In conjunction with Resource Nation, Duct Tape Marketing is proud to introduce StartMeUp.

The program pairs you up with a consultant who can help you create your start-up schedule, you get weekly advice and how to articles, advice on choosing vendors for things like setting up your legal entity and accounting. If you are just starting or thinking about starting your business this is a pretty cool road map. Let me know what you think.

To launch this new service I asked my favorite Startupologist, Rich Sloan of StartUpNation (another must visit resource for starting a business) to record a message introducing you to the StartMeUp service and inviting you to check it out from his vast experience in working with start-up businesses.
