e-Business Now
The goal of the e-Business Now program is to help small business owners with little to basic digital literacy learn about technology tools to help solve their business challenges and grow their businesses. The program consists of a series of five (5) stand-alone workshops and accompanying “How-To†guides, each focusing on a particular business issue and the technology solutions that are available to small businesses. To determine which issues the workshops and “How-To†guides should address, the program conducted a series of focus groups of small business owners around the country. The small business owners who participated in the focus groups had businesses with either no websites or only static informational websites. Sign-on to SCORE national page
