About us

Small Business Smarts is a daily news site for people who run, start and grow small businesses. Every day we gather the stories that matter to owners, from funding and marketing to new tools and the shops changing Main Street, each one linked to the publisher that reported it. Alongside the news we feature the Smart Businesses of the year: companies sharing what they do and how they do it.

The Smart Business list

Every business we feature joins that year's list: the Smart Businesses of 2026 is growing now. Each one gets its own seal, with its name on it, to show on its website.

News from trusted publishers

Alongside our Smart Business stories we gather the day's small business news from trusted publishers and link straight back to them, so you can read each piece where it was first published.
