FAQ, What we do, and What we don’t do

Can I get business counseling?

We do not provide business counseling. We do direct business owners and potential entrepreneurs to organizations that can give them free or low-cost one-on-one help,

Are we bound by a contract?

The Resources is a subscription that a client can cancel at any time.

Will you add local links or new national resources upon request?

If clients have new local, state, or national business assistance links that they would like to have on their Resources site, we are happy to make that happen. There is no charge for this service. We do not add local demographics or business attraction material on the Resources. Those are best left to the client’s main website.

Will you take off any links we don’t like?

We will remove any links our clients do not want on their site. Adding or removing links can happen at any time. There is no cost for this.

Can we make changes in the style of our layout?

Our Tech & Design Team can make most changes, but some elements are tied into our national system. Just ask.

Can we pay quarterly or monthly?

Certainly. We can invoice you quarterly. If you want to pay monthly, you need to set that up with your bank.

Who maintains our site?

We do all the maintenance of your pages. We do not go into a client’s site to make changes on their link or homepage. All of The Resources is actually on our database and server.
