by Eva Holtsmark

Were do you find company information on a
company that is small? While both U.S.
and international small business information
can be found, this data is most readily available from
local information resources where the business resides
because resources are available. Revealed here is a list of
concise, reviewed, relevant Internet and print resources
for you to check in your search for company information
on small businesses.
Internet resources abound, and many are free of charge.
The advantage of using them is that the contact informa-
tion-if not the actual data-is available via computer
from one convenient location: your business or home.
With a telephone number or e-mail address, further
detailed information can be obtained after accessing the
Web site. With some savvy Web sites, interactive online
purchasing of the needed information can be accom-
plished with a few keystrokes.
