Hi Tara: I agree that providing some Business 101 information and resources here could be very helpful to small business owners. While I pull together a broader article, have you thought about contacting the following Small Business Advocates to get started:
Small Business Administration: http://www.sba.gov
The SBA offers loads of info on how to start, how to check your business name for trademark, how to write a business plan, funding options, and much more. The SBA also offers chat rooms and forums to meet with experience business owners and advisors.

Score (Service Core of Retired Executives) http://www.score.org
This nonprofit organization is affiliated with the SBA; their volunteers help entrepneurs with all facets of business startup and ownership.

Legal Zoom http://www.legalzoom.com
An affordable option for entrepreneurs to create a legal business entity (Inc., vs. LLC, Partnership, or more)

LogoWorks by HP (http://www.logoworks.com
LogoWorks by HP is a viable option for any size business to create a business identity: from a simple logo to a complete package of logo, brand, letterhead, websites, content and more.

I hope that helps!
