Subject: [TGF] options after closing a business
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 14:24:09 +0000


I am seriously thinking about closing my genealogy business since after a few years as
it has never made money and other factors. It seems as if I am a good genealogist, but
I had few customers and it has been a learning experience. I have recently renewed my
APG dues and I have a website that doesn't need renewing until the middle of next year.

I am thinking about going back to volunteering, as a independent, which I can put on my
website although I am unsure if I can put I am still accepting clients on the APG site.
Another issue is I think with doing look-ups I could charge for the actually costs (such
as mileage, postage, and record) without having to be a business.

What I didn't know is if I could still do in-depth research with using the BCG standard
as I always done without issue. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thank you,

Amy Dunn
