1. Saving Your Small Business: How a PEO Can Help
Smaller companies affected by the present economic climate face more challenges than
their larger counterparts. Studies have found that small business suffer more in a bad
economy and show lower overall sales than the bigger and more widely recognized
companies who rely on their brand name to get them through the tough times.

concerned does nothing to help matters. So if it’s sink or swim, how does a small
business stay afloat?

entrepreneurs have used during eras of great prosperity as well as throughout the
leaner years.
