In our research, we cite information from trusted sources such as the National Federation of Independent Business and the National Small Business Association. We also reference data from government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service and the Small Business Administration, and routinely review documents from each state’s Secretary of State office.

We conduct our own research by referencing internal data, allowing us to provide unique insights and perspectives to our content.
