Those Big Orange Bars
The first orange bar at the top of each page gives you quick navigation to the home page, a contact form, the blog and a tab if you want to advertise. It also has a newsletter signup form. Here is a closer look at each of these links:
Home: this takes you to the summary page, the one that reflects the most recent updates, featured opportunities and links to other parts of the site. It is always the best place to start your visit.
Advertise: If you have a business opportunity or franchise that you want listed on the site, click the word Advertise. This will take you to a contact form and a link to the latest Rate Card.
Contact: Do you have a question, suggestion or want to get in touch with the people in charge here at BusinessOpportunity.com? Click Contact, which takes you to a contact form. When you fill it out and submit it, it will go directly to the powers-that-be. We welcome your input and enjoy hearing from you.
Before you can actually send your message, you must fill out the Captcha form, which is simply a method used by most websites to filter out spammers and robots.

The Essential Search Bar
About a quarter of the way down from the top, you’ll see another big orange band that appears on all the pages, not just the home page. Use this to narrow your search for the type of business you want to buy.
You can specify your budget and location. That way, you don’t have to sort through the entire list of businesses on the site to find what is appropriate for you.
The White Strip with the Friendly Lady
To the right, next to the lady pointing you toward our huge selection of business opportunities is a convenient Top Five Categories link. Just click one of the five to immediately go to the business model you are interested in:

At the Bottom
The bottom greenish band has links for the home page, information for advertising on the site, the contact form and the blog. Though they are boring, it also has links to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the website. If you’re having trouble sleeping, both of those should do the trick.
That’s the tour. We hope you enjoyed it. Our aim is the most comprehensive listing on the web of business opportunities and advice for entrepreneurs. Come back often to see what’s new.
