The course also offers tips on determining a firm’s readiness and suitability for exporting and includes direct links to resources.

Upon completion of the course, participants receive a certificate of completion from SBA.

Interesting post. I'll have to keep it in mind, because I'd love to run my own business soon. It'll obviously be challenging, so I can use all the help I can get. I want to buy a business rather than start one from scratch. I've thought about a franchise or something home-based, but I don't know. Do you have any suggestions? Advice? Thanks.
