Running a business is hard work. For small businesses, the work is even harder because their owners must have a broad range of knowledge. One of the most intimidating areas is finance. That’s because, according to smallbizgenius.com, 82% of small businesses that fail do so due to financial issues. As a result, we recommend that all small business owners seek financial information and advice. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of 10 financial blogs for small business owners.
Fundera
Fundera is a go-to financial resource for every small business. Their mission is to “lift the fog” off of the financial decisions small businesses must make and to help owners understand their options.
Moreover, they’ve assisted over 35,000 small businesses and have a dedicated blog that gives small business owners the tools and advice they need to grow and thrive.
Evergreen Small Business
Evergreen Small Business publishes blog posts written exclusively by licensed CPAs (certified public accountants). If you have any questions about a post, the site lists a direct link to contact their professionals.
And if that isn’t enough, they also list their office phone number so you can schedule a consultation with one of their CPAs. Their dedication to helping businesses navigate their finances can’t be overstated.
