As a smart small business owner, you know that continually educating yourself about the business environment is going to benefit you in many ways. Being knowledgeable and prepared will help you to be confident, bold, and decisive, and those qualities will help your business to survive and thrive. There are many resources available to the savvy business owner, and today we would like to mention three online resources in particular that can help you and your business be the best you can be.
The Small Business Administration
This is arguably the most well-known resource for small business owners, and they have been around for decades. Written offerings include online articles, such as Plan Your Business, Launch Your Business, and Grow Your Business, while they also offer free business counseling, help with business loans for startup costs or when disaster strikes, tax information and resources, and more.
SCORE
Offering mentoring, online workshops, and access to business advice and articles, SCORE is a great resource for you as a small business owner/operator. You can find a mentor, attend a live or pre-recorded webinar, or browse their library right on their website. They are the nation’s largest network of expert business mentors (all volunteers!), and they have more than 10,000 volunteers in over 300 chapters. You will be able to find the help you need wherever you are with this organization.
