Hello,

I have been using OsCommerce. Its an online store which has some addon’s to use POS. Otherwise you can visit www.hotscripts.com and search for POS. It will give you 1000′s of softwares. 50% of them are free.

Good Luck.

Step 1:
Take classes offered at a local university or through the Small Business Association to learn more about running and operating a small business. The more you know and learn before starting your business the better prepared you will be to face the challenges.

Step 2:
Plan your business down to the small details. Think about everything from financing to location and products you will sell.

Step 3:
Write a business plan for your bank to review. If you are taking out a loan for a business, you will need a well-written business plan.

Step 4:
Choose a location and name for your business. You may have to check zoning laws on what kind of businesses can be located in the area you have chosen.

Step 5:
Obtain the appropriate licenses and permits for your business and building. You will also need insurance and tax information. These things can all be found by checking with your state’s small business association.
