| Small Business Paths |
| A guide to help you find what you need, based on what stage of development your small business is at. |
No two small businesses are alike, nor do all small businesses follow the same linear path of development. Some rise and sink like comets, while others grow steadily over long periods of time. Yet all small businesses follow roughly the same developmental path; someone has to come up with the idea, implement it, build a successful business, and then develop that business so it achieves its maximum potential. This page is the starting point for several small business paths. Each path leads small business people to what they need to know based on where you are in your entrepreneurial experience and where your interests lie. On each visit you can go further along the path, retrace steps along the same path, or start down a new path.

This is the path for the person interested in growing his/her small business. You might be interested in expanding into the import/export market, or adding employees. Maybe you want to get into e-commerce or develop a new product. This path leads to the resources to take your small business in new and different directions. |
