Rely upon your attorney to help you develop your legal protection plan.

Another part of creating your plan should be to isolate your business assets from your personal assets. However, be careful whose advice you take in asset protection plans, especially if those giving advice stand to gain financially from you.

Having a legal protection plan is not mentioned often in 'how to start a business' books, but given extent of lawsuit abuse in America today, it should be an essential part of every business. Go ahead, start today.

The procedures involved to use this payment method are to first set up a form on your website. You then send an invoice to your customer with direction to cheque-form page, which they must fill out and submit, via your cgi program. You then verify funds and information and then software prints cheque on special cheque paper, which you can purchase at most business supply stores.

You can also have above type service online, via such sites as Paybycheck.com.

Another alternative, which is rapidly becoming choice of many online product and service providers, is Online Payment Systems. There are several of these systems available but I have only found one that has features available to Canadians. Called PayPal.com, this service allows you to set up an account with them and they verify credit information of those buying from you. Now, many features that this system has to offer are still limited for Canadian retailers but you are still able to set up an account, bill your clients, and receive payments into your Canadian bank account or credit card account with only minor service charges being applied.

Taking advantage of expansive market of World Wide Web does not mean that you have to go bankrupt. You can still get on E-Commerce bandwagon and accept payments with above listed services and other alternative payment systems that may be available. Actually, most of these services are all that average small business, especially those in service industry, really need. And they don’t cost a fortune.
