The Guardian Life Small Business Research Institute is an intellectual resource devoted to better understanding America’s small business owners. It combines ground-breaking research the Institute commissions with the expertise of people within the Guardian Life family who have deep experience in the small business community, to yield deeper knowledge, insights and wisdom about small business owners and the businesses they build. Collectively, America’s small businesses account for 50 percent of U.S. gross domestic product and 44 percent of the nation’s payroll.
The Institute resides within The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, a corporation with a vast national small business customer base. For nearly 150 years, Guardian has provided individual protection and employee benefits solutions to America’s small business owners.
