Read MoreThere's a popular belief in the startup world that a small business would be wise to launch an enterprise that is "narrow and deep" rather than "broad and shallow." In other words, if you are building, let's say, an app that tells you every time a fresh batch of bagels is available in one of New York's gazillion bagel shops (piping hot NY bagels are an art form), you don't want to start off in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx all at once.

I have been of the belief that entrepreneurs who create platforms for dream-realizing are more likely to make money than the dreamers themselves. Case in point: Indiegogo, Withoutabox, and Scripped.

Read MoreIndie filmmaking and production companies have drastically changed since the improvements of tech and the Internet. You can shoot an independent film in HD with a high-end DSLR and do your entire post-production on a laptop. But even if you have the best line producer in New York, you still should have an idea of how to start up your very own independent film production company, with or without the guidance of a lawyer.

Read MoreThe boom in startup small business has led to a meteoric rise in entrepreneur moms (and dads) creating something out of nothing but a great idea. A great idea is just the seed of the business; the flowering tree requires a mompreneur or dadpreneur to pay great attention to many details, including the legal implications of launching such a business.
Read MoreIf you want to start up a small business in New York, one of your first considerations will be the choice of business entities. If you work on your own, and decide to set up a sole proprietorship, this article is not for you.
