Small Business Center launches E-Learning program
The New Hampshire Small Business Development Center, an outreach program of the University of New Hampshire Whittemore School of Business and Economics, has launched a new, online program for New Hampshire business owners.
E-Learning for Entrepreneurs offers 21 three-hour courses in business management, finance and marketing at no cost. New and experienced business owners may take a course in one sitting, or over time, depending on their schedules.
"NH SBDC is continually looking for ways to help New Hampshire businesses be sustainable," said Mary Collins, NH SBDC state director. "E-Learning for Entrepreneurs utilizes today's technology to provide knowledge, tools, and resources for the state's business owners. In this uncertain economy it is even more important that businesses statewide have access 24/7 to management tools that will help strengthen their firms."
During six months of beta testing, more than 500 courses were taken by entrepreneurs in 125 rural and urban New Hampshire communities. Course titles include: Crafting Your Business Plan, Accounting 101, Creating Buzz: Small Business Marketing, and Finding and Attracting Investors. The classes can be found at

The project is underwritten by Citizens Bank Foundation, NH Department of Environmental Services, Public Service of New Hampshire, Daniel Webster College and TD Banknorth.
