From Rosemary Peavler:
I am thrilled to be the Guide for Small Business Finance at About.com. I spent my career teaching and writing about business finance. The pages of this website on Business Finance will serve as a handbook for business owners that they can use to start up and run their businesses, with emphasis on the finance function of the business. Students can also use the information in this guide as can others who need reference material. I hope to make Small Business Finance at About.com the "go-to" financial website on the Internet for the small business owner.
