May 14, 2015

BusinessUSA is a centralized, one-stop platform to make it easy for businesses to access services to help them grow and hire. And with the release of a brand new smartphone app for Android and iOS devices, BusinessUSA is fully functional no matter whether you visit by desktop, tablet or smartphone.

The BusinessUSA smartphone app consolidates a wide-ranging amount of business information and resources from across the U.S. federal government. The tools in the app are created to help small businesses, as well as more established businesses, navigate regulatory hurdles and gain revenue in a global economy.

The app features content tailored to your business interests and needs, which means potential entrepreneurs and CEOs alike are welcomed. This app has you covered whether you’re interested in launching a startup, need help growing your enterprise, or you have specific questions on issues like healthcare.

Easy-to-use “wizards” help you find the business and financial information most relevant to you, organized according to categories like Financing, Taxes and Credits, and Starting a Business.
