===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
SMALL BUSINESS ADVISOR is a unique, one-of-a-kind program. It is in
part an "expert system" designed to aid a small business business in
coping with and understanding many of the "ground rules" that will
apply, including taxes, business laws and regulations, financing sources,
whether or not you should incorporate, personnel policies, office-in-
the-home considerations, and much more. In interactive "consulting
sessions" on a number of difficult issues, the program asks you
questions, weighs your responses, and gives you recommendations or
answers, based on the 20+ years experience of its creator, a Harvard
lawyer/Big Six CPA and million-selling author of business books.
You can also quickly access easy-to-read information on several hundred
subjects of interest to small businesses, either by a key word search or
picking from an index. Each subject file is "customized" to display
information particular to YOUR state law and YOUR business, based on
information the program has requested from you about your business.
ADVISOR also contains built-in worksheet templates for helping you to
create a marketing study, a business plan, or personnel policies.
Finally, it contains quick-and-easy tax calculation modules for 1994 and
1995 individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, or federal estate
tax "what-if" calculations.
SMALL BUSINESS ADVISOR is perfect for any small business, or anyone who
is considering starting a business who wants to know the "ground rules"
before taking the plunge. It is also ideal for business advisors, and
is widely used by SBA offices, SCORE chapters, SBDCs, and by professional
advisors such as attorneys, CPAs and business consultants. Such advisors
can instantly print out a customized "memo" on any of a wide range of
subjects on which their clients frequently seek advice, simply by
selecting the subject area and pressing "P" to print....It's as simple
as that.
Because the critical tax/legal and other information in this program
needs to constantly be updated, Ronin Software issues a new release
every calendar quarter. A "Professional Version" ($49.95) of the program
is also available, for users who want to be able to have access to
tax/legal information for all 50 states, unlike the regular single-state
version (shareware or $29.95 registered version).
**** IMPORTANT NOTE TO VENDORS WHO WANT UPDATES ****
Ronin Software includes a file called VENDOR.ID with
this shareware program. If your name appears in the
first line of this small ASCII (text) file, it means
that each time a user prints out a registration form,
it will show us that you were the distributor. Our
policy is to send updates to distributors through
whom we know we have received registrations. So please
be sure to substitute your company's name (and city or
country, if not one of the "majors") on the first line
of the VENDOR.ID file, so we will know where our regis-
trations are coming from... and can send you updates!

----- PRODUCT REVIEWS OF SMALL BUSINESS ADVISOR ------------------
SMALL BUSINESS ADVISOR has received uniformly excellent reviews from
the press. Here's what some leading computer publications have had to
say about this unique "expert system" software program for small
businesses:
THE COMPUTER SHOPPER (3/95 Issue):
"What every home-based business needs--but few can afford--is a
trusted business adviser, someone who's been there before and
can show the uninitiated the ropes. Unfortunately, finding a
resource like that can be impossible, and if you do manage to
find one, you can expect to pay an arm and a leg for it.
"As an alternative, try The Small Business Advisor. This SUPERB
all-in-one information source gives you advice on everything from
finding money for your startup to developing a business plan,
marketing your goods and services, hiring pesonnel, franchising,
and paying taxes, as well as every conceivable law that could
apply to your business.... Best of all, the program goes beyond
simply giving advice to provide reference material such as sources
for funding. It includes addresses and phone numbers of other
places to go for data, such as the Small Business Administration,
and also provides fill-in-the-blank worksheets to help you get
off on the right foot in tasks such as creating a business plan...."
PC WORLD (2/94 Issue; Cover article on "The Best of Business Shareware"):
"Need answers, but don't want to start your attorney's clock ticking?
For about the price you'd pay for a billable hour, this program
answers basic questions about taxes, employee relations, marketing,
and other business-related subjects. The Small Business Advisor is
conversant with many federal regulations, and is updated quarterly
to include topical information...."
PC WORLD (9/93 Issue; Cover article on "Instant Payback Software"):
"If you own a small business, you need to comply with zillions of
state and federal regulations to avoid paying tax penalties. The
Small Business Advisor acts as an interactive expert, supplying
comprehensive legal, regulatory, and tax advice for small businesses
in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The first time you avoid a
hefty penalty, you'll recoup the registration fee. It offers ad-
vice on a variety of issues, including home office deductions,
incorporation, OSHA regulations, the Americans With Disabilities
Act, environmental laws, and others...."
SHAREWARE MAGAZINE (8/92 Issue):
