As part of the Yahoo Small Business partner ecosystem, services from these new partners will also be available via the company’s one-stop-shop platform for small business, Business Maker. Business Maker is an all-in-one platform that helps small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs start, run, and grow their own business. More than a marketplace, Business Maker curates specific tools and services based on where a small business is in its lifecycle. From creating business plans and forming a legal business entity to establishing an online presence and collecting payments – Business Maker provides small business owners with all the tools they need to start and grow a successful small business, all from a single platform.

For small business owners who are not tech savvy, researching and selecting a solution for tasks like building a website, managing accounting and payroll, and marketing their business can lead to significant challenges. In fact, in the recent Yahoo Small Business 2021 Microbusiness Outlook Report, a survey exploring microbusiness owners’ outlook for 2021 emerging from the pandemic, more than three in five microbusiness owners (63 percent) surveyed reported investing in technology for their business that ended up not being the right fit. 48 percent even said they’ve experienced this more than once.

“Launching a business can seem daunting, and the volume of different solutions available to entrepreneurs makes starting and managing a business even more challenging,” says Chris Wayne, Managing Director for Yahoo Small Business, Verizon. “Having a curated list of the best services to leverage for different aspects of business management can be a game changer. We are thrilled to expand the Yahoo Small Business ecosystem through the new partnerships with 1-800Accountant, Constant Contact, PromoRepublic and WebCEO.”

1-800Accountant brings accounting services to Yahoo Small Business customers for the first time
With 10 percent of small businesses saying a lack of the necessary expertise to manage business finances was their biggest financial challenge over the last year, easy-to-use accounting services are key to helping small business owners succeed. Through the new partnership between Yahoo Small Business and 1-800Accountant, small business owners have access to even more helpful tools, such as bookkeeping and tax preparation.

“Our team is passionate about helping new businesses succeed and is thrilled to serve as Yahoo Small Business’ featured accounting partner,” said Mike Savage, CEO, 1-800Accountant. “We look forward to continuing our dedicated service to entrepreneurs and small business owners across the country.”
