Meet with an expert or get advice from a peer
When considering adopting any new benefits plan, perhaps the most important step is to seek out a small business expert for more guidance. Various public and nonprofit services can connect you to advisors with personal experience running a small business, including SBA Small Business Development Centers and Pacific Community Ventures’ BusinessAdvising.org platform that connects small businesses around the country with free, experienced business advisors who offer advice on a range of issues, including HR, marketing, IT, operations, and other small business concerns.
