The Importance of Understanding Small Businesses

Tomer London emphasizes his mission to understand small businesses, as he recognizes that they often lack adequate financial and operational support. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, he witnessed firsthand the numerous challenges small business owners face, such as managing payroll without dedicated teams for finance or HR. This gap in support is significant, considering that small businesses play a crucial role in the U.S. economy and represent millions of employers. Gusto aims to address these challenges by offering tailored financial technology solutions that empower small business owners, enabling them to streamline operations and focus on growth.
