| Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, making up over 99% of all companies and employing 50% of the entire workforce. In 2003, there were over 23 million small businesses in America. |

The most valuable resource a small business has, as well as the most costly, is the employee workforce. To succeed, a company must get the most out of their employees on a daily basis. A huge obstacle facing employee productivity is drug and alcohol abuse. Small companies are the most vulnerable:
- Drug & alcohol abuse is nearly twice as prevalent in small businesses
- 87% of employed illicit drug users work for small companies!
Congress passes the Drug-Free Workplace program act of 1998:
Administered by the SBA to help companies SAVE MONEY on costs associated with the abuse of both drugs and alcohol.
