The Small Business Web is a movement to bring together like-minded, customer-obsessed software companies to integrate our respective products and make life easier for small businesses. While there are many products available for small business owners on the Web, the approach we're taking is to use each others APIs to provide a high-level of integration between these applications and create a more seamless experience for our customers.
We think small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy and that it’s from small business that true innovation will arise. We believe small businesses should have access to the same tools and technology that big companies have without paying a huge amount. We know simplifying access and increasing integration to our products and services will benefit all of our customers. We want small businesses to succeed and we want to help.
How do I join the Small Business Web?
We invite companies that serve the small business market to show their support for the Small Business Web by signing our Manifesto. Must have a passion for customer service, an excellent product or service, a solid business model and an API.
If you’re a company looking to integrate with one or many of us, please contact us at our respective addresses below. No sleestacks need apply.
