“I signed up for the Small Business Builders course at a time when I decided to start getting serious about my online jewelry business. I really enjoyed how each class dove into a different aspect of running a small business.Being surrounded by other local small business owners was also very encouraging, and I have greatly benefited from the additional 1:1 advising sessions included with the course. The sessions have given me guidance and insights specific to my industry. My time with Small Business Builders has helped me to lay a solid foundation on which I can grow my company and thrive as a small business owner.”
