How we feature businesses

Readers deserve to know what they are reading. Every story from a business we feature carries a Featured Business label in every listing, at the top of the story and again at its close, with the name of the company that supplied it.

Not an award

Being a Featured Business, or part of a year's Class, is not an award, ranking or endorsement. It means the business has shared its story with our readers.

The company's own words

Featured Business stories are published as supplied. Claims, figures and descriptions are those of the company. We may remove contact details, tracking links and formatting that doesn't belong on a news page.

Stories from other publishers

Headlines from other publishers link to the original story and remain their property.

What we won't publish

We don't publish stories that promote stocks, securities or cryptocurrency, make claims we can't stand behind, or are misleading, hateful or unlawful.
