Most of us know people who have talked (and talked and talked) about starting their own businesses. Maybe youve even said, Thats a great idea -- you should start your own company!" Small Biz Booster, a New York City company, is now offering the New Business Gift Card." Their product is a gift card that can be redeemed for help to get a new business going.

(Aunt Elma makes amazing scarves, but she could never sell them.")

Small Biz Booster was started by two small business owners who did it all themselves. We know what its like and sometimes its tough. It often seems like theres no one to ask, no one to turn to," says Yvonne Shortt, Founder and CBO (Chief Boosting Officer). You might know someone with a great business idea, but giving them money may not be the best option."

According to the SBA, 50% of businesses fail within the first year. Many small businesses run through what little cash they have with one big push and dont have a long-term, affordable marketing strategy that will help them make money as they spend it," says Shortt. We give very small businesses the help they need to get started, stay in business and grow."
