The 2009 Recovery Plan: What
It Means For Your Business
reprinted with permission from HP
 When the going
gets tough, the tough have a smart game plan. And with over
2 million jobs lost in 2008, the situation is definitely
getting tough.
Fortunately, the US has relieved our 26
million small businesses—those which gross $15 million or
less in profits annually[1]–in more ways than one with its
2009
Recovery Plan.
The new plan
not only gives small businesses tax breaks and credits, it
also plans to give your customers more money by providing
them jobs. In the meantime, though, one of the best ways you
can take advantage of the plan is by carefully investing in
the future with updated technology and energy
efficient solutions.
Even for larger
businesses that don’t directly benefit from the recovery
plan, making these types of changes while business is slower
can prepare you for when the economy picks up.
The
government’s plan
This plan provides you with a myriad of opportunities to
help your business.
The new plan:
