Where to Find Small Business News and Information in Missouri

business news

One of the best sources of information on the subject of business is the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. The bureau is a one-stop shop for business training, permits, and other regulatory necessities. It is also home to the CO– news feed, a portal for small businesses.

In fact, the bureau is so savvy, it even has its own website. In addition to its main site, the bureau maintains a number of microsites on specific topics like building permits, permits for business use, and the likes. This is in line with the department’s mission statement to promote economic growth and job creation. Some of these sites are more user friendly than others, and the agency has a number of online guides to help you along the way. While you are at it, check out the Department of Commerce’s statewide office in Springfield, which is a good starting point for the more technical minded.

The aforementioned department is a great starting point for a business owner looking to expand into new markets, or perhaps find out what kind of tax breaks are available to them. There are some other great resources in the state, including the Missouri Small Business Development Center.
