Introducing Reuters Small Business

Today marks the launch of Reuters Small Business, designed to provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge they need to innovate and grow their businesses.

We’ve got a dedicated editorial team looking at the stories that matter most to the small business sector, and content from partners like Entrepreneur, BNET, IDG, GreenBiz.com, and Wired. Editor Jon Cook will also be reporting live from the Small Business Week conference in Washington, DC.

Here’s some of what is available this week:

• A look at start-up funding in the bailout era
• A multimedia feature on budding handbag maven Jane Saidenberg
• A FindLaw resource center with dozens of guides to navigating the legal waters as a small business
• A blog post on finding the right people for your business, by The Big Money‘s  Jonathan Weber

Are you a small business owner or a multimedia entrepreneur? We are looking to build a community of small business owners, and we want to hear from you!

What are conditions like for small businesses in today’s economy? What help is needed from local, state and federal government? And are you seeing any of the vaunted “green shoots” of recovery?
