The SME Toolkit (us.smetoolkit.org), is a complimentary, online resource launched in 2007 to support Women and minority-owned businesses with expert advice for starting, growing or maintaining a business. The tools include daily expert advice by Jim Blasingame, the #1 ranked small business expert on the Internet, a blog called Deborah’s Biz Basics sponsored by BuzGate.org that provides a forum for women to discuss business issues and get advice, and a small business video learning series covering topics such as incorporating, bookkeeping, managing credit and avoiding burnout. The toolkit contains thousands of how-to articles, free Web software, press release distribution offerings and directory listing, financial calculators, business readiness quizzes, human resources info and more. The SME Toolkit was developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank and IBM, along with other partners.
