SBA partners for franchising course

Entrepreneurs considering franchising can now access an online course from the U.S. Small Business Administration and FranNet to help them navigate the competitive franchise industry.

The introduction to franchising course, Franchising Basics, is a free online seminar that provides three key sections that examine more than 10 essential areas relating to franchising.

The course can be accessed from the SBA Web site. The courses can be reviewed at the learner's own pace and in his or her own time, and a certificate of completion will be provided to participants who finish the course.

"SBA is committed to helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals of business ownership, and the online training tool is both accessible and educational in determining if franchising is the right business option," said Anoop Prakash, SBA's associate administrator for Entrepreneurial Development. "We believe that combining our resources to help build up small businesses and to help train future entrepreneurs is important to strengthening the nation's small business community."
