Welcome

Serving individuals, businesses, nonprofits, associations, educational institutions, and government agencies.

buzgate.org™ is a leading branded business-to-business resource portal and one of the most demographically targeted communities on the Internet serving the interests and needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). As a consortium of nonprofit public business assistance agencies, buzgate.org provides an easy-to-use robust gateway to information, goods and services targeted at supporting small business start-up, growth and profitability.

Content is developed and managed by Knowledge Institute, buzgate.org founder and primary sponsor, and focuses on helping individuals to learn about, connect with, and utilize the resources they require to succeed in small business. As a non-commercial, educationally focused gateway, buzgate.org provides a reliable, trusted network where users can build knowledge and establish productive business-to-business relationships.

Eight (8) primary buzgate.org branches (Free Help, Business Solutions, Start, Grow, Fund, Train, Network and Business Success System) facilitate user awareness, access and use of needed technologies, goods, and services. A ninth network, "Ask BUZ", provides person-to-person user guidance to further facilitate the matching of user needs to available free and low-cost resources.

By consistently providing value-add educational content without banner ads, and by facilitating professional relationships between public/private resource providers and resource users, buzgate.org serves to effectively aggregate the otherwise difficult to reach SMB market. As a result, both public and private providers of SMB programs, products and services effectively utilize buzgate.org to sponsor educational content about their offerings, and also refer users to buzgate.org to discover other needed resources. In effect, buzgate.org is a collaborative network "Where all users receive value, and all users add value."

Content providers include national small business development icons such as the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Small Business Development Centers (SBDC), SCORE Counselors to America's Small Business (SCORE), Women's Business Centers (WBC) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Other leading industry sponsors include Verizon, BizFilings, OPEN from American Express, Amazon, SurePayroll, Delta Dental, Success Factors, D&B, IBM, World Bank and major utilities.

Regional and state-based resource providers include local law firms, accounting firms, financial institutions, telecommunications providers, conference centers, financial advisors, human resource service providers, management consultants, software/hardware suppliers, insurance agencies, web development firms, and other high value business-to-business product and service providers.
