On December 2, 1999, Vice President Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR) joined the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in unveiling the newly redesigned U.S. Business Advisor Internet site.

The U. S. Business Advisor is a one-stop, electronic gateway to government information and services for the business community. It became the first Federal gateway Internet site when it premiered on-line in February 1996. And, since then, it's become a model for other interagency, audience-specific sites that are a cornerstone of NPR's strategy to improve customer service by creating an electronic government: "E-gov."

What's New and Improved?

The U. S. Business Advisor site was completely redesigned to help small firms save time, be more productive, and find government information and services with the click of a mouse -- anytime, anywhere. It has the potential to forever change the way businesses interact with government.
