Blunt & Carnahan Launch Small Biz Website

An unlikely pair - Governor Matt Blunt and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan launched a new website today designed to make it easier for Missourians to start their own small business.

The name isn't exactly catchy - Missouri Business Portal - but the idea is to create one-stop shopping for business owners to interact with state agencies. The website provides tools to help Missourians start a business, and maintain reporting requirements with the government.

While Blunt used the new site to plug "a growing economy," Carnahan stuck to playing up the idea.

Users can research ideas and get help in writing business plans, as well as find links to cities and counties to comply with local business requirements. The site also provides information on taxes, filings, employment issues and steps required to end a business.
