Welcome to our directory of small business resources that hopefully will prove to be useful to you and your organization. We will vet each resource where possible and provide feedback on the resources that we have first-hand experience utilizing. Please let us know if you have any personal experience with any of these resources and let us know if you have one to share with other users of our site.

Accounting/Banking/Financing:

• ◊ S.B.A. loans and grants
-- Contrary to popular belief (and LESCO), our government does not typically loan you money to start a business. They will, however, in remote cases back your business loan through certain financial institutions. Grants are sometimes given to certain businesses for certain reasons that are important to our society as a whole.

Counseling:

• ◊ S.C.O.R.E -- Provides free counseling to small businesses. I have used these folks and they are an excellent resource to get you going in the right direction. Keep in mind that their job is to council; nothing more.
