Basic Info is the first screen in My Business. It has 14 questions. Your mentor reads your answers before your first call.

Steps

  1. In the left menu, click My Business.
  2. Read the banner at the top. It shows "x of 14 answered".
  3. Find a question that has an Add button, for example Add your business name. Click the button.
  4. Enter your answer. If you do not know, click I am not sure. This saves the answer. Go to step 6.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Repeat for each open question.
The Basic Info screen with the banner that shows how many questions are answered and the first questions with their Add buttons.

The 14 questions

  • Your name, your email and your phone number.
  • Your business name and your website.
  • Your trade, which holds your NAICS codes. NAICS is the code system that the government uses for kinds of work.
  • Your main services, and the service to sell first.
  • Where you can work.
  • How long you have done this work, and one job that you are proud of.
  • Which programs describe the owner, for example woman-owned or veteran-owned.
  • Whether you are registered to sell to the government.
  • What a win looks like in the next three months.

What you see next

Each saved answer shows a check mark. The count in the banner and the card Questions answered goes up. The card Questions answered counts the main questions in all parts of My Business. The banner counts only the 14. Answers that you give as I am not sure count as answered. The intake also asks for your home address and T-shirt size. Basic Info does not count them. You can change them later.

When all 14 have an answer, the screen shows a button to send them to your mentor. See How do I send my Basic Info to my mentor?.
