A business teacher in the Detroit Public Schools has established a new Web site to help small businesses find business partners.

The site, http://www.bizpartnerhunt.com/, aims to provide a central, online place for current and future business partners to find suitable business partners and investors.

It's the brain child of Kesha Gayles-Brown, who said it grew out of her own experience matching up business partners among her friends and business contacts.

"I noticed with a lot of people I was helping, they lacked skills in a couple of areas, but wanted to go into business for themselves," Gayles-Brown said.

Anyone looking for a business partner or investor can go to the site and post an ad. All ads are reviewed to ensure that they meet the guidelines of the site.

To contact Gayles-Brown, e-mail admin@bizpartnerhunt.com.

Gayles-Brown said the site, launched early this year, is attracting about 30 hits a day.

Gayles-Brown also teaches Web site design and several types of software.
