To some, those are the 11 scariest words that can be spoken - others may find it the funniest. Regardless, the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) us a wonderful free resource, often overlooked by many budding entrepreneurs.

Sometimes thought of only as a funding source, the SBA offers would-be business owners a wealth of information on starting, financing, and managing a business. Whether you want information and advice on business law, regulatory issues, staffing, or marketing, the SBA website gives some well rounded information to either address your immediate questions or point you in the right direction.

If you haven't visited the SBA recently, I encourage you to give it a view. Here's the link to the SBA homepage. Enjoy!
