Because the vast majority of Springfield businesses are defined as "small" employing fewer than 100 people Springfield Business Journal has decided to put more emphasis on small business concerns.|ret||ret||tab|

This year, in addition to our annual Small Business Week issue, published May 29, we will include special emphases on small business in four other issues this year. |ret||ret||tab|

The issue you hold in your hands is the first such small-business focus. |ret||ret||tab|

Look for additional small-business focuses in the issues of March 20, Sept. 18 and Dec. 25. |ret||ret||tab|

In these issues, SBJ readers can expect information on business planning, hiring for the small business, home-based work options, financing for startup or for growth, profiles of local entrepreneurs and their businesses, and information on local, state and national small-business resources.|ret||ret||tab|
