The Retail Owners Institute®
The Retail Owners Institute® is a web-based resource at www.RetailOwner.com.  Now the "foremost self-help resource" on retail finance, The ROI® serves independent retailers worldwide, 24/7.  With its emphasis on the basics of retail finance, inventory management and cash flow control, The ROI is particularly relevant to owners and decision-makers of retail operations with up to 100 stores (especially those who may be accounting-averse!)  The ROI has been called "a WebMD for retail owners."
