Small business owners who have never owned a home could use these accounts to save for their first home with tax benefits. Additionally, small employers could offer contributions to these accounts as a workplace benefit to attract and retain employees, similar to how employers offer 401(k) matches. This creates a new tool for small businesses competing for talent against larger firms.
