You can begin before you are ready to leave your job.

A dependable paycheck, health benefits, retirement contributions, and financial stability are worth protecting. Building a business doesn’t have to mean walking away from them.

The right preparation can help you avoid expensive mistakes, identify opportunities worth pursuing, and understand what it will take to succeed. Backbone America helps you make those decisions before putting your financial future on the line.

Practical tools. Real decisions. Your own pace.

Stop wondering where to start. Start building your plan.

The Business Lab helps you turn the idea of business ownership into a series of manageable decisions. With practical courses, workbooks, worksheets, and guided activities, you can evaluate opportunities, understand your finances, and prepare for your next steps without unnecessary guesswork.

Learn from someone who’s been on both sides of the business journey.

I’m Renee Davis, founder of Backbone America, entrepreneur, author, Business Process Automation Engineer, and former SBDC business advisor.

As a business advisor, I worked with nearly 200 entrepreneurs whose startup and expansion projects represented approximately $1.15 million in capital. I’ve helped people evaluate business ideas, understand financial requirements, and work through the practical challenges of starting and growing a business.

I’ve also experienced entrepreneurship firsthand. I founded Backbone America in 2016, and I understand that owning a business involves more than having a good idea. It takes planning, financial awareness, sound decisions, and systems that support the way you want to live.

I created the Business Lab to make that knowledge and those practical tools more accessible to people who want to explore ownership without making unnecessary sacrifices along the way.
