Those with a great idea for a new business but no idea where to start can breathe easy.
“There’s an app for that,” said Pravina Raghavan, district director of the New York District Office for the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The Small Business Administration has released an iPhone app that puts an array of resources directly at a user’s fingertips. For instance, it acts as a sort of GPS, pointing users to where they can find free, local help.

“It will put you into connection with our small business development center, score and our women’s business centers, which are just resource partners to allow you to actually evolve your ideas,” said Raghavan. “So you could have a conversation saying, ‘Hey, I want to start a new barbershop,’ to ‘I’ve got a business plan and I need help financing,’ or, ‘I really want to know how to use social media.’”
Speaking of which, the app also allows users to follow the SBA on Twitter and access some of the agency's popular training tools, like the webinars they've posted on YouTube.
