Jonathon Hardcastle asked:

Everyone agrees on a broad level that small businesses are vital to the U.S. economy. However, most people are surprised to learn what is important. The U.S. Small Business Administration keeps records and statistics on small businesses in the United States and some of his results are amazing.

First, the typical perception of a small business as a mom and pop operations with few, if any, employees is not the whole picture. The Small Business Administration defines a small business as an independent business with fewer than 500 employees. There are an estimated 23 million U.S. companies that meet this classification. In some small towns in America, these companies represent an important source of employment.

In fact, small businesses defined by the Small Business Administration represent 99.7 percent of employers in the country and employ half of all private sector employees. Over 45% of private sector payroll is generated by small businesses. During the last decade, small firms accounted for 60 and 80% of new jobs created on an annual basis.

Although a large percentage of small businesses in retail and service sectors, small enterprises are rapidly making gains in the technology sector. 41% of high tech workers such as engineers, scientists and computer programmers are employed by small businesses. Employees of small businesses produce 13 to 14 times more patents than those employed by large companies.

Small Business Administration also offers some interesting observations on the survival of small businesses. Two thirds of small businesses survive at least two years of decline to 44% after four years. Most of the factors supporting a small business that survive are well known, including access to capital and the level of education of the owner. However, a lesser known factor in the survival of small businesses is that business is big enough to have employees.

Similarly, barriers to starting a small business are lack of access to seed capital and lack of education. However, the first barrier to small businesses up and a major concern of current small business owners is access to private health insurance. Individual health insurance for homeowners, is much more expensive than they receive coverage through an employer. If a small business owner is able to offer insurance to their employees, administrative costs and premiums are often much higher than those of larger companies.
