What seperates a small business from a large business?

Question

Why do smaller businesses continue to no profit like larger ones

Answer 1

To quote sba.gov...

A small business is an concern that is organized for profit, with a place of business in the United States, and which operates primarily within the United States or makes a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor.  Further, the concern cannot be dominant in its field, on a national basis.  Finally, the concern must meet the numerical small business size standard for its industry. SBA has established a size standard for most industries in the U.S. economy.  The most common size standards are as follow:

500 employees for most manufacturing and mining industries

100 employees for all wholesale trade industries

$6.5 million for most retail and service industries

$31 million for most general & heavy construction industries

$13 million for all special trade contractors

$0.75 million for most agricultural industries

Hope this helps.
