The Small Business Authority has partnered up with Forbes to launch a Small Business blog in hopes of helping independent business owners.

The blog will feature updates on the monthly Small Business Authority Index, Market Sentiment Survey, tips for business owners, different ways to save money on products and services, and news on government decisions or trends affecting small businesses.

Forbes is a leading source of financial and business news, while the Small Business Authority works to provide resources to small businesses across the country. The two organizations say they are very excited to work together to help small businesses nationwide.

Posting at least one entry a day, the Small Business blog has gained momentum with more and more visitors sharing the content via social media. Recent topics of the blog include tips on limiting the use of adjectives in a company blog, the importance of an established conflict-resolutions process and easy ways to prevent financial fraud in your business.

"We are proud to bring The Small Business Authority's considerable expertise to bear with its new blog serving the small business community," Brett Nelson, Executive Editor of Forbes, said.
