How do I use Quicken's business guidance?

The Small Business Guidance feature in the Business & Personal tier provides access to practical business reference material covering key topics for small business owners. The content is published by Nolo Press, a trusted provider of plain-language legal and business guides.

This guidance helps you better understand day-to-day business topics like forming a business, setting up contracts, managing taxes, handling employee-related issues, and more. It's not legal advice, but it can help you make more informed decisions and identify when you may need to consult a professional.

The content is organized into categories such as:

• Start & run a small business (e.g., licenses, leases, home-based business)

• Employer’s legal handbook (e.g., hiring, wages, employee benefits)

• Tax savvy for small business (e.g., deductions, recordkeeping)

• Get more (additional Nolo resources)

Each category contains articles and subtopics you can browse within Quicken.

Note: This content is static and read-only. It’s intended to inform—not to guide data entry or interact with your accounts.
