Across Micro Biz Mag, we use affiliate links on some of our articles.

We think it’s really important to reiterate, though, that our opinions are our own. We do not accept payment to review anything and we don’t accept payment to place editorial either. We make sure whatever we publish as accurate and our opinions remain independent.
