Kentucky Business Finder
Kentucky Business Finder
I've been meaning to comment on the Kentucky state website for some time. I've been using quite extensively especially to register SoKy.Net. It's a great website, well laid out, fast and in a word, brilliant! There is so much there for small business people it will take me months to present a glimpse.
Today however, I found a resource that I used and feel compelled to share. It's the Kentucky Business finder. It's a listing of Kentucky businesses with their industrial codes, descriptions and links.
Kentucky Business Finder is a free resource designed to promote sales for and between Kentucky businesses. This is accomplished by enabling buyers to identify Kentucky-based suppliers of products and services.
The system provides an easy means of searching for information on the products/services, capabilities, equipment, and certifications of Kentucky businesses. Whether you are a business seeking to locate a supplier to meet immediate needs, a company seeking to develop long-term supplier relationships, or a business looking for collaborative partners, the Kentucky Business Finder can be a valuable resource for you.
If your business provides products or services from one or more facilities located in Kentucky, you are eligible to register in the Kentucky Business Finder. By doing so, you leverage the power of the system to market your business throughout the Commonwealth and beyond. Businesses which elect to place their information in the system are responsible for regular updating of that information, to ensure the accuracy of their data as well as the reliability of this search tool.
I found there is one catch though; new "facilities" need to create an account. I took the time to create my account and you should too. Oh a little advice; break out that good old business plan before you visit. You're going to need it to fill out the forms. Especially the descriptions of products and services. If you don't have a business plan... well that's a whole 'nother subject.
