This was a great piece as it serves to help more people understand that there is realistic support out there for them if they want to launch their own business. Between cost-effective space like Regus and access to free government and nonprofit business assistance program through BUZGate.org, being in business for yourself is a much more attainable goal than it was even a decade ago.
I just found this clip and it couldn't have been more timely. I also checked out the www.buzgate.org web site and it was full of all kinds of business development help that I didn't even know was available - - expecially help with financing! Thanks WPIX.
