Over 9,000 business-owning regulatory Websites available through government sponsored site

Business.gov, the official business link to the U.S. government, has launched new search features and expanded content that make it easier for small business owners to find essential information they need to run their operations, including forms, licenses, permits and regulatory information from federal, state and local governments.

In addition to federal government resources, business owners now have access to over 9,000 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.

“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,” said Nancy Sternberg, program manager of the Business Gateway Initiative.“Business.gov helps give small business owners a complete understanding of what’s needed to comply with government regulations.”
Business.gov has also expanded the content of its Small Business Guides which 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.
