Website for 50+ Entrepreneur

Last month, the U.S. Small Business Administration unveiled a new website geared to the 50-plus entrepreneur, providing useful information, links and resources vital to starting, growing and expanding a small business. The new website features interactive information and links to help 50-plus entrepreneurs consider the benefits and rewards of business ownership, and to help them make informed choices about business ownership. They believe "50-plus entrepreneurs will drive significant new business growth in the coming years.”

The new website offers:

• a self-assessment feature to help the aspiring entrepreneur determine his or her business readiness,
  
• information on borrowing and credit,
  
• and inspirational success stories from baby boomer entrepreneurs.
  

The Small Business Administration notes, "As baby boomers consider career and lifestyle shifts that extend beyond their work careers, tapping into the world of business ownership can allow them to leverage their flexibility, know- how and business acumen to go into business for themselves. Many have already joined the ranks of the nation’s self-employed and small business owners."
