" A Must Have List "
of the Companies & things, for Every Small Business
Syracuse, NY & Beyond



When people open the business, they often miscalculate & underestimate their initial expenses or hidden cost.
I created the list, from my own experience, what newly open business must absolutely have for the first year.
Not just business, but anyone who plans to relocate to a new area. I was lucky enough & previous owner was kind
enough to live me some contact information, such as lawn mower they used, etc. Otherwise, It took me over a year
& "kissing" couple of "business frogs", until I was able to build a good contacts list of reliable people.
I also learned, over the years, working for private businesses, corporation & various non-profits, that, ALL of them run
based on the same principals. I believe donating to Charity & contributing to one, is a great way to preserve business
success in a future. So, this list, applies to every New Business. As "a Must". In my opinion.
In the regions with a lot weather changes, especially snow & storms, having alternative to the plane or the bus, such as
train, can be a great options. In United States, not many travel sites offer train tickets, as a primary transportation choice.
I used Amtrak in January 2021, from Sacramento, CA to Chicago, IL. It was very interesting trip, and great alternative
to the airport cancellation. I added Amtrak on my list. In America, on the West Coast in particular, trains are probably the
least common form of transportation, while cars & planes make majority.
Public transportation, such as bus or NY subway, in US has a "bad wrap", as not the safest form of transportation. I did not include any form of general public transportation under travel options. Some rides on Uber or the Lyft cost less than cup
of late grande, plus they are safer.
I selected companies for this list based on:

Do they able to answer the phones in case of an Emergency?
