Having an expert helping the small business is sure to help the business improve and will help the owner learn more about running a business.


 * The government will also pay every small business to upgrade anything not working and furniture, technology, or equipment that are over ten years old. Businesses that don't need upgrading won't be paid any money for upgrading.


 * The government will pay for one small advertisement per small business. The Advertisements could be an ad in the local newspaper, phonebook, direct mail, or on the Web.

This will not cost the government much, but will definitely help small businesses grow .
