“We are eager to provide entrepreneurs and small business owners with the training and tools they need to start, grow, and expand their businesses,” said Erhardt. “I can find the information needed to help small business succeed, such as contact info and demographic data for local and national businesses to create mailing lists or learn about niche market size.
