That’s Intuit’s prediction of the number of businesses expected to start up in 2022. Most will remain sole proprietors, but it’s expected that 5.6 million will hire employees and need Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) (there were a record 5.3 million EINs issued in 2021). People are starting businesses to be their own boss, have more control over their future, and make more money than they could working for someone else. #IdeaoftheDay
