Question: EXPLORING THE INTERNET
Perhaps the most challenging difficulty for small businesses is operating with scarce resources, especially people and money. To provide information and point small-business operators in the right direction, many Internet sites offer helpful products and services. Although most are sponsored by advertising and may be free of charge, some charge a fee, and others are a combination of both. The SBA within the U.S. Department of Commerce provides a wide array of free information and resources. You can find your way to the SBA through www. sbaonline.sba.gov or www.sba.gov. Visit the text website for updates to this exercise.
Assignment Question: 1. Describe the various services provided by the SBA site.
2. What sources of funding are there?
3. What service would you like to see improved? How?
