Hello I am new to this and I was takes to get my companies website up in the SE list. Can anyone out there help me, I would like to know what would be the best first steps in getting this site up in the SE's, I would be grateful for any help anyone might offer..
Thanks!!!!

First, read around this forum - all the basic stuff is here (many times!), and there's a fair bit of more advanced stuff, (some neatly concealed!).

If you hit anything that does not make sense, that's the time to ask, and get that info tailored to the site you are SEOing.

But to get you moving, the very first step is to get the content right; aim for unique, original, interesting stuff. You rarely go wrong if you provide a site that your target audience values.
