Benefits of a Website for the Small Business

 

The benefits of a website are numerous, yet there are still small businesses without a website. Most business owners see the benefit in a website but either do not know how to get one set up, or think they would not be able to afford a website.

Other business owners may not see the value in a website.

Those business owners should know:
