Inside Indiana Business:
The U.S. Small Business Administration recently introduced a new online training resource for budding entrepreneurs to provide the fundamentals of starting a small business. The Small Business Primer Strategies for Success online training is a free course designed to assist individuals who are thinking about starting a small business or who are in the early stages of running a business.
The Small Business Primer is a self-paced assessment tool that focuses on three key areas to help small business owners (1) determine their business readiness, (2) provide an overview of basic small business principles, and (3) introduce them to key SBA resources for small business counseling and training. The assessment tool is highly recommended and useful for those who have considered starting a business or thought about what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur.
Participants that complete the online training have an opportunity to receive a Course Completion Certificate from the SBA. To evaluate your business readiness, go to www.sba.gov and click on ‘New Free Online Course.’
The SBA’s Small Business Training Network offers a range of online business training and counseling tools to assist entrepreneurs with business start-up, from developing marketing strategies to effective employee management. It also provides valuable information for existing small business owners. The training network is an easy-to-use tool that provides 24-hour access to business courses via the Internet.
