Equip Business Students, Researchers & Entrepreneurs

As the leading area of study in the United States, business degrees have made up 19% of all bachelor’s degrees earned at postsecondary institutions for the past 11 years.

Since the 1950s, Gale has supported business researchers by offering robust and user-friendly business resources in partnership with academic libraries. Partner with us to bring students, researchers, and faculty a full suite of databases to support business learning across disciplines and real-world business applications.

With Gale Business resources, you can connect everyone on your campus to the tools they need to understand complex business topics, analyze global market trends, develop business plans, and more. Offer company information to help any student embark on their career in Gale Business: Insights, guide students to develop entrepreneurial skills like leadership and decision-making in Gale Business: Entrepreneurship, or connect aspiring small business owners to a step-by-step tool to launch a new business in Gale Business: Plan Builder.
