The Cache Chamber of Commerce website was recently redesigned by Jason Holladay from Email Contact. He has done a magnificent job with the design. It's user friendly and so easy to find what you are looking for with the drop down menus on each tab at the top of the home page.  
If you members have any comments or would like to speak to me about this website please call 435-752-2161 or email Carolyn. We love you Jason .. GOOD JOB!

SBA and AARP Launch Age 50+ Initiative to Start and Grow Businesses
Back to top
Alliance will provide counseling, training to 100,000 age 50+ entrepreneurs
 
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration and AARP are launching a strategic alliance to provide counseling and training to entrepreneurs over the age of 50 who want to start or grow a small business. Through SBA’s on-line training courses and its nationwide network of business mentors and counselors, the two organizations expect to train 100,000 “encore entrepreneurs,” men and women over 50 who are starting or running a small business.
 
“No matter what your age, if you have an idea or a business that’s ready to move to the next level, the SBA wants to make sure you have access to the tools you need to start and grow,” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “We know that working side-by-side with AARP, we will be able to reach baby boomer's and Americans over the age of 50 who have years of professional experience working for others and are ideally positioned to step out and become their own boss. And, in doing so, they will become job creators and drivers of economic growth in their communities.”
 
SBA has set up a dedicated web page Americans over the age of 50 featuring: an on-line self-assessment tool that will help potential small business owners understand their readiness for starting a business as well as information to help with business planning, shaping a winning business idea, professional counseling, financial services and information to find local resources in your area. This web page can be found at: http://www.sba.gov/content/50-entrepreneurs.
 
SBA and AARP also will jointly develop and host a customized on-line course, self-assessment, and webinar series for older entrepreneurs.  SBA already offers a suite of on-line courses for people who want to start and grow their business. To take a course, go to http://www.sba.gov/training under “on-line courses.”  Course topics include start-up basics, finance strategies, marketing tactics, overseas trade, and more.
 
For more than 70 million Americans over 50, business ownership is a practical option.  It can be a second career or a chance to leverage life experiences into an interesting and financially practical “encore” career.
 
“Many baby boomer's are working beyond retirement age and choosing to stay active and engaged in the workforce,” Mills said.  “For many older entrepreneurs, starting a small business can be an opportunity to transform a lifetime hobby or interest or years of professional experience into a lucrative line of work.”
