Here at SurePayroll, small business is our business. We are always working to create and share content that can help small business owners like you. Check back every Friday to get some light reading in before the weekend hits.
This week we are sharing some information to help you as a small business owner. We included two reports that will help you stay up to date on current trends. The first is from Shopkeep – they put together a yearly survey to better understand small business owners. The second report, our final link this week, comes from USA Today and explains how Main Street has evolved in recent years. In addition to the reports, we thought it would be helpful to share some more information about Net Neutrality and to help you better understand what it means and how it can affect you.
