What sources of funding are there?

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.
