SBA Resources for Boomer Startups
The U.S. Small Business Administration has a new package of resources for older entrepreneurs looking to start both for-profit and nonprofit businesses. The site, 50-Plus Entrepreneur , is targeted to those seeking to start a small business, but offers lots of practical advice for social entrepreneurs as well.
