“BusinessBuddy.org aims to be the ultimate marketing-oriented Web site for small business owners,” says company director Leslie Richardson.  “We provide timely information on marketing and management strategies for this underserved business segment.”

Content available from BusinessBuddy.org includes articles on technology, communications, travel, healthcare, internet resources, legal and financial, among others.  The editorial staff constantly searches the Internet and various data bases to bring business owners top offers, recommendations, and highlights on cutting-edge products and services. 

Other current benefits at BusinessBuddy.org include various business-related discounts, a graphic arts center, free classified ads, and an e-newsletter.  Among the future benefits planned by the company are a national service provider directory listing 10-million small businesses, as well as free consultations, a discussion center, and a research survey and polling section.

“BusinessBuddy.org really is unique in the fact that it will put into practice all the information it passes along to its subscribers,” said Richardson.  “Each marketing campaign featured in the newsletter will be taken from experience, not theory, and we’ll share with business owners what worked and what didn’t.”

The new company is targeting the 20-million sole proprietors, partnerships and small limited liability companies operating throughout the United States.  BusinessBuddy.org feels it is ideally positioned to assist small businesses with five employees or less, which lack the resources available to larger companies, Richardson said.

“What sets this company apart from others,” he noted, “is that it is not a consultation service, but rather an assistant and advocate for small businesses.  Our goal is to help them overcome the obstacles that make functioning and succeeding as a smaller corporation so difficult.”
