Small business & EFC

<p>I'm confused on whether small business assets/value affects my EFC... I read that for FAFSA small businesses' (if they hire <100 employees) assets are not counted towards financial aid. </p>

<p>Does this policy apply to CSS Profile as well? I know most schools require and use CSS Profile to calculate their EFC. If my parents' business's value is taken into account, my EFC rises pretty significantly so I am worried about not getting matched because of this.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
