Last week, the federal government launched www.BusinessUSA.gov, a self-proclaimed "one-stop shop for everything related to business in the USA."
BusinessUSA.gov organizes various government websites and contact information and provides resources that may be of interest to businesses. It is intended as a vehicle for connecting businesses to services and information that may be relevant to their operations. A goal of the website is for an increasing number of federal agencies to continually add resources to capture a full range of business programs and services.
The website also organizes business references on a state-by-state basis and provides a list of topical seminars and events. The website says it is a "beta version" first step and solicits input from consumers.
This new use of technology by the federal government may be helpful for businesses as they grow and look for resources for addressing governmental compliance issues.
