In a recent study conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, small business owners stated their biggest challenges are:

1) Economic Uncertainty- 49%;

2) The National Debt- 47%;

3) HEALTH CARE- 39%;

4) Over Regulation- 36%;

5) Taxes- 28%.

Next to the state of the economy and the debt, the most specific fear for small business comprises the impending health care regulations which are proving to be difficult to decipher and threaten profitability.
