yes, i bought the start up kit, and it was pretty helpful. The only thing is i live in Teas, and there are differences in the way things work down here. But, the kit itself is very broad which is good for someone who knows nothing about the business. If you know a little about the business, i would pass on the kit and just talk to businesses in your area on how they got started, that really helped me a lot. Don't get me wrong though, the kit was helpful on some things i wasn't sure about, and helped me to make decisions on some areas. If you have any other ?'s, i will reply, i just got done starting my business a few months ago.
