#3: Sunshine Suites: We said “renting resources” and this is the best office rental space in town. They have fabulous locations all over the city fully equipped with internet, fax, printing, trendy jazz music, trendy bathrooms, fish pond in the foyer and pricing that can fit every entrepreneur, writer, actor, real estate broker, any other gig that requires an affordable office space on a month-to-month lease. That was a mouthful. I have worked here off and on for three years. God bless Sunshine Suites.
The mention’s incredibly appreciated, and just serves to illustrate one more reason why we do what we do here at Sunshine. Be sure to read the rest of the article for other great rental resource tips!

The BusinessWeek article highlights several things that can be done, immediately, to continue to attract young people to starting their own businesses. In the words of BusinessWeeks:
Developing policy to increase rates of entrepreneurship among young people requires an understanding of why young people tend not to start their own businesses. So why aren’t more young people entrepreneurs?
