Business.gov
Unveils New State and Local Features
Washington
Business.gov, the official
business link to the U.S. government, has launched a new Google-based
custom search and expanded content that make it easier for small
business owners to find essential information needed to run their
operations, including forms, licenses, permits and regulatory information
from federal, state and local governments.
The
new search capabilities have been tailored to meet the needs of
the nation's small businesses using the Google Custom Search Engine
service. The new search engine filters the Google.com index for
results business owners can trust.
Business.gov
has also expanded the scope of its content. Business owners now
have access to over 8,000 state, territory, county, and city government
web sites providing information on starting and managing a business
while complying with regulations from all levels of government.
"These
expanded services are additional steps we're taking to give business
owners a true one-stop resource for helping them comply with government
regulations", said Nancy Sternberg, Program Manager of the
Business Gateway Initiative. "The inclusion of state and local
content on Business.gov means that small business owners can go
to one web site to find what they need to successfully manage their
operations".
Business.gov
has also expanded the content of its Small Business Guides that
help business owners understand what regulations and programs apply
to them, how to comply, and how to stay in compliance while growing
and managing their operations. For example, if a retail business
is interested in expanding its business online, the Small Business
Guide to E-Commerce will provide guidance on legal and regulatory
requirements the business owner must meet before opening an online
store.
