As a small business owner you know that you cant afford to not be ahead or at least on par with the competition right? Well if you’re a small business owner don’t have a small business websites yet, stick around.
So lets take an example, lets say you are a Plumber in the city of Long Beach, CA and someone has a slab leak, that someone is most likely gonna go onto his computer and type in Slab Leak Plumber near Long Beach, CA, right? Well if you don’t have a website then you will not come up and you are invisible to potential clients searching the internet. On the other hand your competition that do have small business websites will come up and you just lost yourself some new business!
Now we both know that you didn’t start up your business to let the competition trample you down now did you!?
You may think that creating a small business website is a complicated, expensive deal? If that is what you think then you are making a big mistake. Today, getting a website up and running is simple, quick and CHEAP!
If it isn’t obvious enough why you need a website for your small business then let me elaborate on a few other good reasons. Besides gaining new business from the internet, people searching for your company online would like to see a nice, professional looking website to make them feel better about purchasing your product or services. When you go to buy a new car would you rather the showroom be old, smelly and not well kept or a nice, new, modern styled and professional showroom? Your website is your image to customers on the internet and you want your small business to have a good image right?
Another great thing about that people don’t think about is that once you have it up and running you can list the website on your promotional materials such as business cards, flyers and even banners! Most people that see a banner will most likely just go on your website to see the list of products or services that you offer before they actually come in to ask about it. This way you are converting more potential clients into money… If you are driving down then road and see a banner for a plumber and a phone number, are you really going to call to see what he offers? No. But if there is a website that is easy to remember you will most likely go online and see what services that plumber offers.
In conclusion I think it is obvious as to why your company needs a small business website. But even if it isn’t, do your research, look up your competition online and see if it makes sense for you!

So-so with SBA. Much better help with their Small Business Development Center office. But, the quality of help is very different from office to office.
This is from the Small Business Administration website http://www.sba.gov/
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.
I hope this helps answer your question.

i'm not looking for any handouts, either. just an easier way to get healthcare for myself and possibly my few employees.
The SBA loan was based on your collateral (the house with a 640,000 loan) Now that you've defaulted on your home loan, the SBA needs to get some money from the sale of the home (short or otherwise) Since you didn't list your home in the BK, the SBA put a lien on the home, and they are not going to release the lien. Whoever advised you to BK and list SBA loan didn't have your best interests at heart. You might as well pack up your stuff and slink out of town because the bank isn't going to give you any money – even on a short sale. If you really BKed, your credit is ruined anyway.

Too bad they don't have sweet deal for startups. I'm trying to start my own business.
You do not need a major open a business or even run it, but it will save alot of trials and errors by obtaining an education on how to run a business, but opening a business is easy so long you have the capital to start one.
The Majors are usually B.S in management, entrepeneurship, and Corporation.
But you would need a service to earn money from the business. Basically you going to need 2 degrees or long nights learning to play the game. I have a partnership with my family and we run a logistics business and I'm the only one with the degree in Logistics. I use to drive trucks during college to pay off bills but I fell in love with Logistics itself so I major'd in it.
Wow, I can take a lot from this and put it towards bettering my own business.
