The United States government has announced the launch of Business.gov, the official business link to the U.S. government that provides a one-stop shop for free business information from all levels of government: federal, state and local.

"Our public is the small business community and there are 27 million small business owners that exist and we want to make it easier for those individuals to gain access to the type of information they need in order to comply with federal regulations and policies," said Nancy Sternberg, program manager for Business Gateway program with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The site offers such things as tax information, permit and license information for a user's city or county and information on grants and loans.
