ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sage, the market leader for integrated accounting, payroll and payment systems, today releases results from a U.S. small business survey conducted by VIGA. Sage also launches the Sage Forum for Business Builders to give small businesses a platform to connect with policy makers.
he survey reveals 62 percent of U.S. small businesses feel more confident about their business prospects in the next six months. However, results also reveal just 36 percent of U.S. small business owners believe that they are fairly represented in the current political system. In fact, small business owners cite too much government bureaucracy and tax rates/tax relief of their biggest challenges this year.
As a response, on the heels of the U.S. presidential inauguration, Sage has launched the ‘Forum for Business Builders’ to give business builders a platform to connect with policy makers. The Forum brings entrepreneurs from around the world insights, events and policy-forming partnerships to give them a powerful collective voice that can be heard on the global stage. The Forum is open to all small businesses and will be refreshed regularly with diverse content and insights from guest contributors and advisors.
The Forum can be accessed here: www.sage.com/company/business-builders.
