The SmartBiz Bank Mission
SmartBiz is on a mission to become the nation’s leading small business bank, empowering small businesses to thrive through access to the financial services they need.
Small business owners are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and their success is essential to a thriving business landscape. However, not everyone is an expert in all areas of operations or has the time to keep up with the latest industry trends and news.
The SmartBiz Small Business Blog provides a valuable resource, offering easy-to-digest information on everything from financing and marketing to business growth and management.
About the SmartBiz Editorial Process
We are committed to responsible, accurate, understandable, helpful, and up-to-date content.1 We aim to empower small businesses and provide trustworthy resources to support that.
The SmartBiz editorial team has a broad knowledge base around small business topics including legal, financial, marketing, employee management, credit, and more. Working closely with business owners every day, we identify issues that touch small businesses and create content to educate and inform.
Our editorial team manages all content, which is reviewed by the SmartBiz legal team before circulation or publication. The steps include:
Research
We use credible sources that include peer-reviewed journals, government agencies, research think tanks, and professional organizations. We closely follow major publications, news programs, and industry experts to create content.
Fact-checking
Editorial content is fact-checked for accuracy, timeliness, and relevance. We use primary sources and authoritative sources, including interviews and government and industry websites, data and documents.
Review process
After the writing is complete, various members of the SmartBiz Loans marketing team review for clarity and transparency. The legal team also reviews to assure that content is compliant and in line with best practices.
Content update
When information changes (like the Federal Interest Rate, small business legislation, etc.), we edit published blog posts with the latest, fact-checked information available at that time. We stay on top of financial news, trends, and breaking news within the small business. We’re always monitoring the small business space and financial industry to keep content fresh, accurate, and relevant.
Reliable sources
Our blog posts contain information and quotes from reliable small business sources we have vetted for accuracy.
