Small Business Development Resources
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has created a series of online resources available for entrepreneurs. The Small Business Resource Guide includes pages of ideas, references and suggestions covering issues related to starting a business and provides a listing of financing options available through SBA.
The local office of the Small Business Administration (SBA), SCORE and Minority Business Development Agency Business Center, can answer some basic questions about starting your business. We encourage you to start your research there.

Marketing your Business
Back to TopSelf-Assessments
Before you embark on your new business venture, it's a good idea to determine whether you have the right personality to start a business. To assist you with this, we have provided some links to help you decide whether entrepreneurship makes sense for you.
Back to TopWrite a Business Plan
A business plan articulates what a business is, where it is going, and how an entrepreneur wants to take it there. A business plan will likely include a summary, a company description, a marketing plan, an operations plan, and management and organization information. A business plan is critical - without a business plan, a business may fail. Most banks require a business plan prior to lending.
