Interactive call open to all small businesses; chance for entrepreneurs to learn about new small business and individual marketplaces, and how to enroll in one of the health insurance marketplaces

Jersey City, N.J.—The Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (SHCC-NJ), in conjunction with small business organization Small Business Majority, will host a webinar today, Feb. 27, 2015, on the healthcare law's impact on New Jersey small businesses and how entrepreneurs can benefit from the state's health insurance marketplaces.

"We believe it's important for small business owners to learn more about the healthcare law and how it affects them," said Carlos Medina of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey. "These interactive dialogues are a great way for small businesses to get the information they need to take advantage of and comply with key provisions of the healthcare law, and for us to get feedback on their thoughts and concerns."

The free webinar, which is open to all small business owners, will feature Small Business Majority's New Jersey Outreach Manager, Aixa Acevedo, who will discuss the topics most relevant to small businesses, including small business tax credits, wellness grants and cost containment provisions. Acevedo will also explain how the marketplace functions for self-employed business owners.

A question and answer period will follow the discussion.

"Access to these new healthcare options, either the small business portal or the individual marketplace, provide new options for many entrepreneurs to obtain health insurance for their families and their employees," said Acevedo. "Webinars like these help small business owners get the information they need to make informed decisions."

The webinar will take place today, Feb. 27, 2015 at 12:00pm (ET).
