• Featured Articles. Click on this section to find articles clustered in the categories you will find in the magazine: Profiles of Jacksonville businesses, Down to Business articles (marketing, human resources, finance, and management), and Industry Insider Advantage (guest columns). Sometimes you’ll even find a late-breaking news item of great importance.

• News. Not just any news—this is news covering small business. You’ll find the latest information from the U.S. Small Business Administration, but you’ll also discover trends in marketing, finance, taxes, management, employment, and other areas as they affect your business.

Business Briefs keeps you posted. (Do you have a press release about your business? Send it to the editor so we can post it in Business Briefs.)

• On the Street. In every issue of the magazine, Advantage sends out a reporter who polls several small business owners about a “burning issue.” They give their views and sometimes share their secrets. If you’d like to be quoted in On the Street, contact the editor.

• Web Articles. Our Web site often gives you a sneak preview of the print magazine, but it also offers you information that is only available online.

• Quick Tip. This is a weekly update, a gem that make your operation more efficient or effective.
