Do you own a small business or are you thinking of starting a business?

As the owner and staff of Guytel since 1982, we have learned many lessons about starting and operating a small business.  

Our Goal is to help you save time, money and effort to set the big picture baseline of your new business while you are finding your own path. 

We would like to share this experience and resources with you.

So we have created this manual especially for small business startups, explaining what worked for us that was easy to implement, and where we got help.  

It is free of charge with no strings attached.  We hope it will help you.

Guy Souliere and Robin Browne 

In Memory of Robin

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Robin, on February 9, 2025. Robin was an integral part of this project, bringing dedication, insight, and a genuine passion for supporting small businesses. His contributions to this manual and the broader community will be felt for years to come.

I am grateful for the time i had with Robin and will always remember his warmth, generosity, and the positive spirit he brought to everything he did.

He will be deeply missed.
