What You Need to Do Before Spending a Penny on Marketing
Most of us build our small businesses around a basic talent, skill or passion that we assume will easily make us profitable. Yet our surveys show that attracting new customers is the main area where small and solo business owners (SBO’s) say they need help. Whether you’re just starting out or are well established, your challenge is the same as any other business, including the IBM’s of the world—identifying, attracting and keeping customers by getting a strong ROI from your marketing program. It’s imperative that you develop a strategy and plan to make your marketing powerful, affordable and successful.

Disaster Continuity Planning
According to a report by SCORE on the impact of disasters on U.S. small businesses, natural and manmade disasters have increased by 40% over the last 15 years. The likelihood that you'll experience one is too high to ignore. About 25% of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster.

Small Business Jobs & Credit Act: What’s in it for Small Business?
On September 27th, President Obama signed into law, the much awaited Small Business Jobs & Credit Act. I’ve been surprised by how little most small business owners seem to know about the provisions of this law and what is in it for them.

Other features of the law include tax breaks for small to medium sized businesses, tax incentives for equity investors in small businesses and some significant changes in SBA lending programs.
