What we do
Our Site is all about sharing information on Small Business Tools. We provide regularly updated general information, tools, clubs and services with our views on how to save money. After many articles you'll find a link to discuss the articles with other smallbusinesstools.org users via Facebook – plus our Forum is full of people sharing tips, hints and information on how to save money. The information you read on our Site is a great starting point for your further research into what suits your particular Small Business Tools requirements.
What we don't do
Information on our Site does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation, representation, endorsement or arrangement by us and is not intended to be relied upon by you in making (or refraining from making) any specific investment or other decisions. If we mention companies on our Site, we usually do so because of their attractive offers. As general policy we don't vet them on customer service or investigate their solvency (how likely they are to go bust). Given that the impact of any information expressed on our Site can vary widely based on your particular circumstances, you should always carry out your own research into the product that is of interest to you.
