Everybody likes free stuff, right?

Well, the SBA (Small Business Administration) offers an online questionnaire to make sure that you’ve dotted your i’s and crossed your t’s.

Even better than just a questionnaire is the fact that when you’re through, it will give you the helpful links you need depending on your answers to the previous questions. It’s a great tool to give you a reminder of what needs to be done before you jump into the deep end with both feet first.

There are lots of other great resources on the SBA’s website. I fully recommend that you explore their resources.

You’ll find somewhat reliable information on everything from finding loans, grants, and other funding, to contract opportunities or links to contract opportunities, to how to get out of a failing business.
