Fortune Small Business

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fortune Small Business (FSB) is a magazine published ten times each year. The publication is a joint venture by The Fortune Group at Time Inc. and American Express Small Business Services. FSB is delivered to one million small business owners nationwide.

The magazine explores how small business owners run their companies, what technologies they use and where they spend time out of the office. FSB has published lists including the FSB 100, featuring the fastest-growing small public companies, as well as the 100 Best Places to Live and Launch and America's Best Colleges for Entrepreneurs. FSB reserves its December/January issue for the annual Next Little Thing package, highlighting the companies, trends and entrepreneurs that will make headlines in the year ahead. Popular sections include Small-Biz Makeover and Owner's Manual, a column written by entrepreneurs who have overcome challenges in running their enterprises.

FSB's website, FSB.com, serves as a community portal for business owners. The site runs out of CNNMoney.com. The site's Ultimate Resource Guide addresses technology, marketing, financing, management and legal problems that small business owners face. Owners seeking help for a particular concern can submit a question to Ask FSB, a forum where expert sources weigh in on specific issues.

The magazine was originally called Your Company when it launched in the fall of 1990. The name changed to FSB with the November 1999 issue under Managing Editor Hank Gilman. FSB's current Managing Editor is Dan Goodgame.
