From the Author
As small business owners ourselves, we were frustrated by the lack of Y2K resources available to small business owners. When preparing our business for the Year 2000, we spent a great deal of time and money researching the problem, consulting with attorneys, accountants, and Y2K consultants. We decided to summarize what we learned for others like us. We understand that most small business owners do not have a lot of free time during the average workday. Therefore, we have incorporated numerous time saving steps into our manual. For example, we have made all of the compliance/survey letters available on a floppy disc, so you do not need to retype them. Additionally, the manual is concise and straight to the point because we want you to be able to implement the plan as quickly as possible. This manual contains all of the procedures we used to become Y2K compliant and to reduce our legal exposure. We hope it will jump-start your compliance program, thus minimizing the impact of the Millennium Bug on your business' success. We wish you the very best of luck in completing your Y2K project.
