Online Courses for Financing Your Business

Knowledge about the finances of your business is essential to its success.

About These Courses

Several free online courses are offered by the SBA to help prospective and existing entrepreneurs understand basic finance and accounting principles. These self-paced courses are easy to use and understand. They will take about 30 minutes to complete. You can, however, exit a course at any time. Because most of the courses offer audio explanations, it is recommended that your computer speakers be turned on.

Before entering a course, you will be prompted to complete an online registration form. The registration process is simple, asks only a couple of questions and will take less than a minute to complete.
