I came across this website while searching for a business netoworking group in my city. The website, buzgate.com “provides an easy-to-use comprehensive online network of public and private resource providers offering information, goods and services tailored to the interests and needs of small and medium-sized businesses.” Ok, so what does that mean?
Go to the site, and click on your state. You will find all kinds of local programs that provide free or low-cost help on topics related to starting or growing a business – such as business training, marketing, funding, tax guidance, education, real estate, just to name a few. You can find information and resources about everything from setting up a business phone line, to retirement plans, cash management strategies, to time management charts and payroll outsourcing.
If you can’t find what you need on their site, you can ask a question and the helpful people at buzgate will direct you to the answer. It doesn’t matter if your business is big or small, new or established, or at home or in an office park, this site will provide you with many helpful resources.
If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur, buzgate is worth studying. I was not aware of the abundance of small business resources that were right here in my own community!
On another note, I participated in a fantastic program today called “The 60-Minute MBA – Mom’s Business Advisor.” This program was sponsored by Home Based Working Moms (HBWM.com). I had a very enjoyable interview with Diane Ryan, and was able to answer questions from listeners all over the country. Listen to the show here!
Finally, I’ll be starting a new feature here on Moms in Business called “Blog Traffic Tip Tuesday”- where I’ll be sharing a tip or technique for driving more traffic to your blog. My last post was just the tip of the iceberg!
Have a great weekend!
