    I don't know about the site, but the SBA has a group called SCORE.
    It's run by volunteer retired excecutives. Unless they lost funding,
    they are a great resource. They run free workshops on starting a
    business and business plans and have tons of binders filled with
    real business plans. You can also speak one-on-one with a volunteer.
    I wouldn't expect them to know too much about jewelry, especially
    starting a fine craft business, but they are a real help with the
    basics.
