You can't get too much of a good thing. The United States Small Business Administration (
SBA) must agree; the agency's distance learning curriculum (already
over 25 courses strong) is constantly expanding. The most recent addition is a self-paced "Small Business Primer" entitled
Strategies for Success: Guide to Starting a Small Business.HispanicBusiness.com reviewed the primer in:
SBA Offers New Free Online Course For Aspiring Entrepreneurs (April 30, 2007). The course landing page describes the class as "
easy to use and comprehensive. It can be completed in about 30 minutes."
I recommend the course and other
SBA resources to all small business owners. I also recommend the free and low-cost offerings provided by the
SBA's non-profit volunteer arm:
SCORE: Counselors to America's Small Business.
