Press Release Body = Lone Peak Business Solutions has found that more and more of
their cleints who are mothers are entering the workforce. Lone Peak Business
Soutions\' estimates that in 2006 90% of their clients that are mothers were working.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau the percentage of working mothers (between
15-44 years old) went from 53% in 1994 to 55% in 2002. Out of the 82.5 million
mothers in the U.S., that is a1.65 million jump of mothers in the workforce. In
2002, mothers with children age 1 and older were in the labor force at a higher rate
(72 Percent) than mothers with infants (55 percent). Among mothers with infants,
61% of those 30 and older were in the labor force compared with 39% of those ages 15
to 19.

This rise in working mothers could be attributed to many factors. One of the
largest reasons is families that feel they need the additional income. With
inflation, rising oil prices and increased cost of living, many families feel that
they can't survive without the additional income from a working mother. In
addition, there are a lot of single mothers who are the only source of income for a
family.

Along with the increasing reality of two parents working and single parents working,
there is also the increasing need for quality child care. There are roughly 687,000
daycare providers of which roughly 618,000 are self employed persons. Many mothers
prefer the atmosphere of the self employed day care providers because they often
work out of their homes which provide a homey atmosphere that a large facility can't
produce.

One of the major problems with mothers working is the cost of these Day Care
facilities. Christopher Anderson, Vice President of Lone Peak Business Solution,
Inc. said, "One of my clients is a family where the mother started working in 2006.
She made roughly $12,000 but she had to pay out $9000 in day care expense. Her day
care took 75% of her income. After taxes were taken out of her paycheck she made
almost nothing."

These self employed Day Care Providers have created an optimal position for
themselves for three main reasons.

1. The self employed Day Care Provider is now able to stay home with her/his own
children instead of relying on others to take care of them.
2. While able to stay home, the self employed Day Care Provider is still able to
provide the much needed second income.
3. When set up properly, the income a self employed Day Care Provider makes can be
received in many tax free ways. Through tax deductions for business and deductions
specifically for Day Care Providers, much of the income that a self employed Day
Care Provider earns can be written off.

Kathy Anderson, President of Lone Peak Business Solutions, says, "I have worked with
many Day Care providers in my 26 years in business. Those who have taken the time
to get the proper licenses and set up the proper safety rules, are successful, work
with happy parents and children, and often continue even after their own children go
to school."
