What is Advanton

Updated October 2026

What Advanton is today

Advanton began as a cloud platform that helped small businesses and local contractors in the US get online: websites, business email, and marketing tools to find local customers. Working with those owners taught us that the hardest part of running a small business is rarely the technology. It’s knowing which decisions to make, in what order, with what information.

So today Advanton is a free knowledge hub for starting and growing a small business. It brings together:

  • Industry profiles with current market size, growth, outlook, startup costs and risks, every figure linked to its source. Explore industries.
  • Business ideas you can filter by budget, business model and industry, each with honest startup costs, time to first revenue and the licenses you’ll need. Find an idea.
  • Step-by-step guides, starting with the Start a Business A–Z guide, from validating an idea to hiring your first employee.
  • Practical marketing guides for local businesses and contractors, based on current research on how customers actually find and choose businesses.

How we work

  • Sources first. Figures come from government agencies, trade associations and established research firms, and each page lists its sources.
  • Dated and maintained. Every guide shows when it was last reviewed. When new data comes out, we update the page.
  • No hype. We don’t promise guaranteed income or overnight results. Starting a business takes work, and we’d rather help you make good decisions than sell you a dream.
  • Still hands-on. If you’d rather have your website built for you, Advanton still offers website design for small businesses.
