What is Target Texas Business (TTB)?
Target Texas Business is an umbrella program which developed out of efforts within the Texas AgriLife Extension Service to provide support and education to potential and struggling small businesses in Texas. These businesses are known by many different terms, including home based, micro, small, start-up, transitional, and others. Businesses differ in terms of size, location, scope of market, products, and other characteristics. Businesses may be agricultural or non-agricultural, retail or wholesale, service or product oriented. Most are sole proprietor, employing 0–4 employees. The main subject matter included in education programs includes business planning, marketing, financial management, human resources, and other topics. Faculty currently involved in this effort are specialists from Family Development and Resource Management, Agricultural Economics, Community Development, and County Extension Agents from several counties across Texas.
