The internet is great for sharing information but when you're busy working on a project you can lose hours trying to find the right information to get you going. So we thought we'd share some useful sites we've found lately.

Starting A Business Information

Check out the Ryde Business Forum's Small Business Self-Help Service with its great collection of practical and useful articles. This is a website created to help the local businesses of Ryde (in Sydney's north west)  thrive and flourish so it has a great Australia business focus.

Business Forum 

Need a great small business forum to get help, share ideas, promote your growing business and benefit from being involved in a business community? Check out The Messy Desk forum. It is carefully moderated and it can get busy so new membership approvals can take a couple of days but it's well worth the doing.

Federal Government Grants 

Have you noticed how some people are really good at getting government grants while others don't even know what's available? Well we thought a list of available Federal Government Grants and Assistance programs would be a great start. So check out this alphabetical listing of federal grants and other assistance.

The Enterprise Connect program could be interesting for small and medium businesses.

This list is from the Business.gov.au website so check out the other great resources captured here.

Business Journals for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This list of academic journals in the field of business innovation and entrepreneurship is extensive and you're sure to find the right journal for your business and industry.
