Resource and service providers is a all-encompassing expression that not only covers product needed and wanted by others, but expressions such as goods and services or products and services. For all intents and purposes the three expressions mentioned can be reduced to the one-word term: resources. See the definition of resource suppliers.

The Global Registry of Contacts and similar directories that are freely available through The Network lists resource and service providers. They input product to the enterprise and economic development process.
