In addition, ENTERWeb aims to provide business related information and links on a country by country basis, mostly for developing countries and emerging markets.

Sites (765+) are reviewed individually and rated mostly according to content depth and free value added while also considering ease of navigation and speed of loading. For each category best resources are listed first.

ENTERWeb is divided into 32 topics (entrepreneurship, self-employment, finance and banking, trade and international trade, competitive intelligence, business support services, business and trade laws, management and knowledge management, cyberbusiness and electronic commerce, economics, women and business women in business, technology and technology transfer, policy, education and training, community development, business news, globalization, knowledge economy, microfinance, cooperatives and credit unions, business networks and information resources, business and environment, business research, etc.) for which best resources are identified, described and rated.

Navigating ENTERWeb is very easy as the site has only two levels, the entry page where all the topics are listed and the chosen individual topic pages corresponding to your chosen area of search.
