		<description><![CDATA[ Trusting small business over big business shouldn&#8217;t be a stretch for anyone. There are a number of good reasons:

Resposibility - when you deal with a small business, there&#8217;s nowhere for them to hide. In most occasions, you either are dealing with the owner or are only one person away from the owner. The buck [...]
