Plantation,
FL - In the February issue of Smart Business Magazine, a Ziff-Davis
publication, 4smallbusiness.com a small business portal was awarded
4 stars. In a four page
article that recommends the top business portals that the entrepreneur
can trust, 4smallbusiness.com ranked second among highly funded rivals
NCBI's allbusiness.com, Microsoft's bcentral and Work.com from
Dow Jones and Excite@Home
beating
out a market of over 50 known small business portals.
Referred
to as the "missing link'' between hi-tech Internet resources and
the small business, 4smallbusiness.com caters to the particular needs
of small businesses by providing the knowledge and experience of professionals
who have used the Internet to sell products, conduct research, advertise
online, improve communication and streamline business processes.
4smallbusiness.com
is the only portal that provides live business advisors during regular
business hours to provide guidance and solutions to the challenges that
are faced by small business owners today.
Members of 4smallbusiness.com receive monthly phone consultations
with their advisors as well as a marketing workbook to help them understand
how the Internet can help them grow and manage their businesses more
effectively.
When
asked about the $399 yearly membership fee, President, Cathy Bass stated,
"when we started two years ago, we immediately decided to build
our business model on a subscriber platform. This was due to the belief that with an advertising free portal
and personalized services, our Members would trust and build relationships
with us that would last a long time."
Bass further stated, " Our Members recoup their investment
by using the services of our partners and receiving cash rebates from
us on those services. We
are the only Portal that I know of that actually gives up our commissions
to our members." Bass
believes that by giving back commissions to the Members, the Members
will trust that 4smallbuiness.com has their best interests at heart.
Membership
is available from partner sites at a lower fee or integrated into the
price of their partner's services.
4smallbusiness.com, a subsidiary of 411now.com, is privately
owned and funded and reports positive earnings.
