If you started a small business because you sought independence, then this Independence Day week is an extra special reason to celebrate your achievements.

So whether you’ve already “gone it alone” or are thinking of becoming your own boss, let’s take a moment to celebrate the reasons why owning a small business is the best kind of independence there is.
