Businesses are built on people. People are therefore the most important asset to grow a business. It is essential for a business to have a team that really makes the difference. Some people are the decision makers while the others are the ones to abide by the decision.

One of the biggest outcries in the wake of the healthcare reform bill has been the impact it will have on small businesses. After all, big corporations have the infrastructure in place to offset many of the costs, and the average individual taxpayer is poised to get better coverage and gain more control over their insurance. At first glance, small businesses fall right into the middle, seeming to carry a heavier burden than many of them can bear.For most small businesses, the most pertinent change is that they will be counted as a "large employer" if they have more than 50 full-time employees (which may be calculated based on total employee hours worked, so that companies with a hundred part-time employees might also qualify for the designation).
