Here is an info-packed site for those of you starting, operating and/or closing a small business: Business Advisor Online. You can find industry-specific information in Retail, Manufacturing/ Construction, Services, Wholesale/Distribution and Professional Services.
A quick review of the Business Advisor Online Site shows that you can easily access hundreds of high quality Articles, White Papers, and Business Management Tools, as well as links directly to relevant information on other sites. Each of these has a brief summary letting you know what to expect and every article is rated in several different ways to tell you what type of information it contains.
When I stared browsing the white papers, I lost track of time and started searching different keyword combinations to see what would come up. And wouldn’t you know it, I came across information I could use. Any site that gives me actionable new information is okay by me. As a point of disclosure, several of my own whitepapers are on the site.
