Clearly Business, a joint e-venture between Freeserve and Barclays Bank has been launched today. The website is planned as an encyclopaedic support service for small businesses. The information on offer covers marketing, tax and legal issues, staff recruitment, market research amongst others.
The service will be available to all small businesses using Freeserve as their internet service provider as well as at branches of Barclays across the country. It is thought that through these and other sources, over 750, 000 small businesses will be exposed to the site.
With Barclays already achieving over Ј2.5 billion per annum in factoring turnover, this new service may provide an ideal source for new business and it is likely that this and other similar services (such as Work24.co.uk and Usecolor.com) will benefit the industry as a whole.
