I'm a small business owner and the problem that I'm having is finding new small businesses. There are some business directories out there but I haven't found any that list new businesses.
So I'm thinking about creating a site that would target new businesses in our local area. Therefore, everyone is found in one place. However, I also want to earn some income off of the idea(not trying to get rich)
Just wondering if this seems like a good idea? Your feedback and comments will be greatly appreciated.

I think it's a great idea. And like you said, if you made a little money off of helping people you would be satisfied.
Make sure to look into getting a .WS domain name for your website. I got one 3 years ago and because of the home business that came with it, I've been making money every month for 2 years now.
Find out more about it at www.myhomeoffice.ws. E-mail me w/ any questions or I'd be happy to talk with you on the phone.

You say local- how local do you sell- what benefit is there in finding NEW small businesses. In our state you can buy the names and addresses of all new sales tax permits issued... it comes from the state and costs $150 a year.

I'll echo these comments. In my location (Illinois) businesses need to register their DBA at the county couthhouse and publish it in the local paper for 3 or 4 weeks. You can go to the courthouse and review the new filings as often as you wish (public information). You won't get it any more current than that.
