According to the latest Small Business Research Board (SBRB) study, health care costs continue to top the list of concerns for small business owners.
"It is interesting to note that purely domestic issues such as concerns about health care and taxes have overtaken worries about energy and fuel as the leading issues faced by small businesses," said study co-sponsor Gregg Steinberg, President of International Profit Associates. "Energy and fuel availability and costs have leveled considerably reducing the uncertainties and gyrating costs that caused business owners and managers so much grief. Meanwhile, these same businesses are being challenged by much more time sensitive beginning of the year issues such as renewal of health care insurance coverage with higher premium amounts and the planning, preparation and filing of corporate and personal tax returns."
More than 550 small business owners and senior managers participated in this SBRB poll.
