Top trends for US small business owners in 2012
The Guardian Life Small Business Research Institute has identified six trends small business owners in the US are likely to face in 2012. Many of these trends are extrapolated from the Institute's research fielded in October 2011, which surveyed nearly 1100 business owners of various sizes. They indicate that small business owners will need to focus on improving productivity and differentiating their businesses to overcome continued economic challenges and to compete with larger companies in the coming year.
