First Steps

Welcome to First Steps, the SBDC’s free online course that will help you determine whether business ownership is for you.

With First Steps, you can assess your strengths and weaknesses as a potential business owner, learn how to analyze the feasibility of your business idea, and get familiar with the information you need and where to find it.

You will discover your own answers to questions such as:

  • Do you have the right personality, skills and life situation to start and manage a business?
  • Do you have a good business idea that will meet a customer need and make a profit?
  • What kind of investment will be necessary to start your business?
The online First Steps course will prepare you for subsequent classes in our educational series, particularly the Entrepreneurial Training Program (ETP).
