Top 10 Ways the Web Helps Entrepreneurs

Don't waste hours on red tape and bureaucracy!

The U.S. government may be infamous for its red tape and bureaucracy, but give them a cheer for their initiative to get public government information online. Save yourself time and frustration by getting the information you need with their Web sites.

The Web sites:

• Federal Web Locator: a single list of all Federal government Web sites.
• Small Business Administration (SBA)
• U.S. Department of Labor: Its most impressive component is the Job Bank, which connects job seekers and employers using resumes, cover letters, and searches. Right now, there's a special section on Y2K bug jobs. Also check out their Small Business Handbook. Note, however, that the site is very slow to load.
• Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
• U.S. Business Advisor
