Starting a New Business? You Can Never Learn Too Much!
What if you could get advice from someone who had successfully run a business of their own, get online lessons about marketing, increasing sales and mentoring?
Better yet, what if you could get these services at no cost?
Well you can.
There is a wide variety of free resources available to small business owners.
SCORE
SCORE stands for the Service Corps of Retired Executives. This offshoot of the SBA (see below) offers free counseling to small business owners.
You can also attend SCORE meetings available at hundreds of locations around the country.

In addition to providing small business loan guarantees, the SBA also offers lots of helpful resources, including online training, and help with business plans.

Getting Valuable Information
With each of the resources listed above, you will find information on preparing yourself to qualify for business credit, how to become a freelancer, sales and marketing and much more.

Business Resources for the Entrepreneur
