Wow!  Two government posts in a row!

"WASHINGTON ─ The U.S.
Small Business Administration has introduced two new free online finance
courses to help small business owners with the basic principles of finance and
borrowing. 

 

The new self-paced courses, Finance Primer: Guide to
SBA’s Loan Guaranty Programs at http://app1.sba.gov/sbtn/registration/index.cfm?CourseId=29
and How to Prepare a Loan Package at http://app1.sba.gov/sbtn/registration/index.cfm?CourseId=28,
walk business owners through steps that answer questions about what debt
financing is, what loan programs are available, what small businesses should
know about borrowing money, how to prepare a loan package and how loan requests
are reviewed by lenders."

Each of the online courses takes about a half an hour to complete and you can earn a lovely certificate to hang over your mantle.  The SBA offers more than 26 free online courses through the Small Business Training Network.
