GoSmallBiz.com
was founded by Entrepreneur and NFL Hall of Famer, Fran Tarkenton.
Having started 20 businesses since his football playing days,
Fran has always had a passion for small business.
After selling his international software company in 1994,
Fran decided to pursue his desire of helping entrepreneurs, like
himself, gain access to the tools and information they need to grow
and compete in the new economy. The result was the Fran Tarkenton Small Business NETwork,
founded in 1996. Once
the organization started using the Internet as a primary delivery
tool, the name was changed to GoSmallBiz.com.
Today GoSmallBiz.com has grown to include more than
50,000 active members throughout North America.
During this growth, our mission has remained constant:
To
help entrepreneurs run and grow their businesses, by providing
access to a comprehensive body of knowledge and tools targeted
specifically at the micro business.
GoSmallBiz.com
continues to build its resource library and makes that library
available to any entrepreneur through this web site.
The library is organized according to subject matter
category, and within the category by type of data being delivered.
In addition to articles, FAQ’s and other written materials,
GoSmallBiz provides access to a broad array of tools.
Many of the tools are available at no cost online and others have been screened and approved for offer in our the Tools & Resources section of each content channel.
Membership is required to access most of the material available through GoSmallBiz. However, non-members can access the See How GoSmallBiz Works! movie, the SmallBiz Directory, and the Featured Member area. Members have exclusive access to the articles, FAQ's, Answers From the Masters and receive the GoSmallBiz e-newsletter. Members also have a 4-page website builder, online bookkeeping tools and a business audio library to utilize. Most importantly, however, members can access the business consulting service through GoSmallBiz's “Ask Your Question”.
Since
August of 1997, GoSmallBiz has responded to every question asked by
a member about running their small business.
Not every response has been a black and white answer, but
that’s not the intent. The
intent is to provide access to a business consultant, so that the
member can take advantage of knowledge gained by that consultant
through years of experience. Our
consultants might respond with a point of fact, an opinion or a
reference to a relevant website.
What sets us apart is that the answer is specific to the
question that was asked.
