The U.S. Small Business Administration has recently upgraded its podcast resources for small business owners. The SBA is an independent federal government agency which works to “aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation.”

The SBA podcasts introduce small business topics, and provide business information and advice for entrepreneurs (and for people considering starting their own business). Recent topics include Financing A Business, Getting Your Small Business Ready for Tax Season and a helpful Checklist for Starting a New Business. Upcoming podcasts will detail ideas for staying afloat in a slowing economy, incorporating “green” business practices, and developing your business plan.

The podcasts are “bite-sized” (ten minutes or less), with interviews from experts in government, industry and business. The SBA pledges that it will be adding additional feeds every month on additional small business topics. Podcasts and additional small business resources can be accessed online here. The feed for the podcast series is here.
