SBM Learning Platform
A self-paced web platform that teaches small business fundamentals — finance, marketing, operations, and planning — designed for aspiring owners who want to learn the same material we teach in class, on their own schedule.

Most people who want to start or grow a small business can't fit a college course into their life. The advice they find online is either a $2,000 bootcamp or a thousand scattered YouTube videos. What's missing is a single, trustworthy place to learn the fundamentals at their own pace — in plain language, with the same rigor as a classroom course.
Our approach
We mirrored the small business management curriculum taught in class — finance and accounting, marketing and sales, operations and management, and planning and strategy — and rebuilt it as a self-paced learning path. Each module pairs a short concept with a real decision the learner works through: pricing a product, reading a simple P&L, writing a one-page plan, choosing a marketing channel. Learners can move linearly or jump to the topic they need most right now.
What we built
- Four core tracks: finance & accounting, marketing & sales, operations & management, planning & strategy
- Short lessons (read in 10 minutes or less) paired with a concrete decision or worksheet
- Progress tracking so learners can pick up where they left off across devices
- Plain-language glossary — no jargon walls between a learner and the answer
- Mobile-first design so a busy owner can learn in the gaps of their day
- Curriculum aligned to what Kim teaches in the classroom, so tutoring and self-study stay in sync
