Are You a Small Business Owner?
Credit: Small Business Administration
Most of us at some point in our lives have wanted to start our own business. Some have succeeded while others unfortunately, have not. Here is a quick assessment tool put together by the US Small Business Administration that helps you answer the question if you have the characteristics usually associated with successful small business owners. Here is the link: http://web.sba.gov/sbtn/sbat/index.cfm?Tool=4 -- just remember that this is one tool that can help you "access" generally accepted characteristics but is not to be treated as a given that you will succeed as a small business owner if you ace the tool!
And if you do need to improve on your score, do not worry! The SBA will provide you with links to other sources that can help you. Best of luck.
