Wow I'm just starting out and the thought of doing a welcome kit never crossed my mind. It is such a great idea and beneficial to both the clients and myself. I'm starting on mine right away, thanks for the ideas! __________________ William McKeever Maven Office Solutions

I am sure this is already posted somewhere but since I am still learning my way around the Forums, and since it came up. Here is the link to the W-9 from from irs.gov. I just did mine a couple of weeks ago and saved a copy so I can send it out whenever needed. __________________ -Becky Life is 10% what happens, 90% how you react.

Alison Elite-Assist Personally I'll be leaving mine blank, but I know you can get printed portfolios with your logo/design on it, though I don't imagine they're cheap. __________________ Miss Admin

I checked into the printing cost of having a custom folder made for my welcome kit and the cost was extremely high for this stage of my business. I solved the problem by creating my own cover page design with my logo and contact information, I print on a 8.5 X 11 transparent label and then adhere to a very nice white folder with the slots on the inside for business cards. The final product really looks professional. I tie everything together with having the same logo design on the welcome letter and some extras I add. Brenda Violette, VBS Virtual Assist, LLC

I am all over the map right now, creating my welcome packet, setting up my website, figuring out a logo, LOTS of research. I have some black folders with 3 hole prongs that I used for my other small business so I think I will go ahead and use those (since I have them) and some card stock that is less destructible than regular paper. I will have to print everything here at home, at first. I am trying to use what I have on hand instead of spending more money. Thanks for all the great idea. __________________ www.sageva.com Shelley Halpain,
