I’m from "dot" GOV and I’m here to help you…

I was revisiting business assistance websites for entrepreneurs, business start-ups and business managers this morning and I just wanted to highlight www.business.gov . It is especially helpful with information on how business interfaces with government. Not only does it include the unpleasant tax and reporting information, but also information on how to make your business more profitable.

For links to www.business.gov and other websites with helpful information on financing, marketing, and operating a business (whether an existing business or a business start-up) check out www.business.hickmantn.org .
