News for Small Business 

Although 98% of U.S. companies have under 20 employees, most "business news" ignores them. Here at Idea Cafe, we strive to correct this skew of the news by letting you know what's happening that may affect your small business. And, whenever possible, point you to opportunities to influence pending rules before they are cast in stone.
