Small businesses are the engines that drive our economy. Their views are critical to the future success and welfare of our communities.
A new poll conducted by the Small Business Research Board finds the most important issue confronting small business is taxes, replacing the cost of health care as the #1 concern. Economic conditions in general and the cost of energy also finished ahead of health care in the poll of 770 small business owners across America.
“Taxes were the foremost concern of small business during the second quarter, however that does not mean paying the IRS is necessarily a seasonal issue. It does indicate that tax issues were more of a concern this year than other issues. Small businesses can adopt the same strategy as big businesses by strategically planning ahead and initiating actions to obtain the greatest tax efficiency,” said Gregg M. Steinberg, President of International Profit Associates that co-sponsored the poll.
