Entrepreneurs to Benefit from News, Commentary and Exclusive Resource Center

New York – Reuters today announced the launch of its new online small business community, providing entrepreneurs with the knowledge needed to grow their businesses, innovate and lead.

Reuters online small business community will feature breaking news, commentary, and videos from Reuters journalists and content partners, including BNET, Entrepreneur, Greener World Media, IDG’s CIO, PC World, Network World, and Computerworld, and Wired. Additionally, a small business blog, http://blogs.reuters.com/small-business/, authored by Reuters journalist Jon Cook, will address timely issues and events affecting small businesses.

“Thomson Reuters has been providing indispensible news and information to entrepreneurs for decades,” explained Alisa Bowen, senior vice president, consumer publishing. “With the creation of this online destination within Reuters.com, we’re bringing all our resources to bear in one location and creating a community where small business owners can quickly access the must-have knowledge they need to make smart decisions and navigate market challenges.”

Exclusive to Reuters small business community, accessible at http://reuters.com/smallbusiness, is the FindLaw Small Business Resource Center, which will offer entrepreneurs access to authoritative articles on starting a business, incorporation and legal structures, obtaining government contracts, employment law and HR, operations, and other critical, how-to information that can’t be found anywhere else.

“Reuters small business community will be a key destination for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and corporate decision-makers seeking the timely, actionable knowledge they need to responsibly grow their businesses and stay ahead of the curve,” says Steve Noel, vice president, portal & online for FindLaw.
