One thing you have to give Yahoo! it took it upon itself to go ahead with some needed upgrades and changes to the small business resource site. It is obvious to me that the company realizes that the more resources that it can provide, the more small businesses it can bring over to its services.

Yahoo Inc. has revamped the information resources section of its small business site, increasing the section’s content tenfold, redesigning the layout and adding search functionality, according to a Yahoo executive.

The expanded and improved section, called Yahoo Small Business Resource Center, will be launched Wednesday and can be accessed at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources, said Rich Riley, vice president and general manager of Yahoo Small Business.

The resource center will feature about 1,000 articles on topics such as legal issues, starting a business, sales and marketing, e-commerce and finances. The content comes from Yahoo and from a variety of partners, such as Inc. magazine, Entrepreneur.com Inc. and Nolo.
