Steps one should take to start an eBusiness.

QUESTION.
I am interested in finding out if an ebusiness idea is legal or not? Is contacting a small business lawyer the first step in starting an ebusiness? Any feedback on the steps I need to take to start an ebusiness would be helpful, and of course how to find out if our idea is legal?

ANSWER.
If a non-eBusiness is legal, then its eBusiness counterpart is legal. There is nothing special about a business being conducted over the Internet. The first step of starting a business is to have an idea and then write a sound business plan. See

I hope my comments are helpful. Feel free to send me follow-on questions via email. Good luck! Regards, -Jeff
