HEALTH CARE REFORM AND YOUR BUSINESS
Dave Erickson

 

As health care reform unfolds it is important to understand how it will affect you r business. The implications for your business will basically depend on the number of people you employ. For a good overview on how the Affordable Care Act will affect your business based on employment level, see the SBA webpage on healthcare www.sba.gov/healthcare.

 

In addition, some small businesses I have discussed this with have mentioned their CPA was able to provide good information and guide them on the financial and tax implications of the Act.  Please take a look at the SBA website above and contact your CPA and your insurance professional to help guide you and help you understand how the Affordable Care Act will affect your business. Now is the time to understand the implications. If you still have questions, feel free to give me a call and I will do everything I can to get you the answers you need.

 

Sincerely,

Dave Erickson
