You can review free online resources AARP and the SBA have developed to help 50-plus entrepreneurs launch or grow their own business.
For example, there’s a free online course for 50+ entrepreneurs and the SBA's Self-Assessment Tool, which can help you determine if you're ready to be your own boss.
Another feature, SBA Direct, will bring directly to your desktop the targeted resources you need to start, operate and grow your small business.
