It's the time to reflect on the past few months, and set goals for the upcoming year. Preparing for the year to come will ensure steady growth for your business. Check out this article from our partners at the SBDC for a list of five things you can do to help ensure 2020 get's off to a good start.
At the SBA we often get questions from entrepreneurs and business owners on a wide variety of topics, including those interested in starting or growing a nonprofit. And while that's not in our wheelhouse, we care about getting you the information you need to succeed.

Both organizations offer robust programing to help individuals and organizations navigate the complexities of the nonprofit world.
