Ever thought of going into business for yourself?

This tip comes from a SE region networking meeting ( I can't remember who shared it! Sorry!)

The WI Women's Business Initiative provides loans to start up a small business.  In looking at their website, I was impressed by how much training and assistance they provide in addition to micro loans.

It looks like the educational programs are in central and south Wisconsin...but they have quite a few resources on line as well. 

If you have ever though about running your own business this looks like a compreheniive resource to help you assess your skills, develop a business plan and provides loans.
