Governments should offer incentives to small businesses like corporate tax breaks, access to grants/loans, and seminars to help improve quality, aptitude and acumen.  Many small businesses are also faced with increased costs directly resulting from market increases, e.g., health care costs could debilitate a small fledgling operation.  Governments should foster and facilitate that companies of a certain size be placed in larger insurance risk pools to reduce costs.
