The Roof Cleaning Institute Of America Training & Certification Forum
"Find A Certified Roof Cleaner Directory"

As a small business owner myself, I've rediscovered an invaluable resource in my area -- the small business development center.

In the past two weeks, I've attended two inexpensive but very informative seminars on website-related marketing topics, with a third scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

While I already knew a lot of the info provided, they always give a few tidbits that make the minimal price well worth the cost. And I will be passing the info I learned on to our readers in the coming months through our website and, utilizing what I learned today, through my new, updated Facebook and Twitter pages.  I plan to pass valuable tidbits on regularly.

The Center -- and likely others across the country -- also offers FREE online training in a number of business-related areas including finance, business setup and marketing. If you are experiencing some downtime this season, what a great way to invest in your business!

Finally, small business development centers often offer free consulting services. For instance, I am about to begin meeting with a consultant to help me develop my new website. Again, this is at NO COST.

To find the SBDC closest to you, visit the Association of Small Business Development Centers website.
