SBA offers free finance courses
Published July 7, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
The U.S. Small Business Administration has introduced two free online finance courses to help small businesses with the principles of finance and borrowing.
The courses – Finance Primer: Guide to SBA’s Loan Guaranty Programs and How to Prepare a Loan Package – walk business owners through steps that answer questions about what debt financing is, what loan programs are available, what small businesses should know about borrowing money, how to prepare a loan package and how loan requests are reviewed by lenders.
The finance courses are intended to help entrepreneurs avoid some of the common mistakes made such as securing the wrong type of financing, miscalculating the amount of financing required, and underestimating the cost of borrowing money.
Course participants who complete the 30-minute online training programs can earn a certificate of completion from the SBA, with their name, date and course title.
