Either looking to start a business, grow a business, or just looking to up your game when it comes to how you handle your finances? Going to business school might be out of the cards for you (it is expensive), but thanks to nonprofit online platforms like edX you can now take classes conceptualized by top universities (think Harvard, UC Berkeley, Dartmouth, and more).
Did we mention the classes are completely free?
For anyone looking to build up their business accumen (and really, everyone should) we highly suggest taking a class or two.
