Each year, thousands of Americans catch the entrepreneurial spirit, launching small businesses to sell their products or services. The City of Auburn Office of Economic Development knows that this is a big step for you and your family and we are available as a helpful resource to you.

The following checklist has been compiled by us as a guideline to assist business entrepreneurs who are considering the pursuit of a small business enterprise. This document is intended to be a guideline only; and in no way is it represented to be a comprehensive list of actions. At best, this document should be used in conjunction with extensive self-help research. Clients customers of the City are also advised to seek the professional assistance of qualified business consultants as they deem necessary.
