New Small Business

Small Business is the mainstay of a growing economy.

The new small business is the mainstay of the growing American economy, especially for employment. In todays troubled market, the small business has a better chance of being the survivor.

A small percentage of small business owners may fail or need to adjust, but by-in-large, the small business will continue to flourish, if it is situated correctly for a bad economy.

It is surprising how many laid off workers have found their notch in starting a new small business in a struggling economy. The key, of course, is finding a high demand need and fill it. The wants are to risky. Your most important needs for success are your knowledge and expertise for the area you choose.

Today, starting a new small business from the home and using the internet will have a higher potential of success. Those that need facilities, equipment, inventory, employees and general operating overhead for their products or services, may have an up hill battle, depending on the capitalization.

Low prices and profit margins will probably be the key for products and services in todays economy. Secondhand merchandise, new slightly damaged but functional merchandise, and repairs are good areas to consider. Chances are your new small business will not make you a millionaire in this economy, but will provide for a comfortable living.

What is a small business?

According to the United States Small Business Administration, any business that has 1 to 1500 employees and/or has a gross annual income of up to $150,000,000.

However, if you distill the United States Small Business Administration size standards for average retail, commercial, industrial or small manufacture, the average small business usually employs 1 to 500 employees and has a gross annual income between $50,000 to $50,000,000 per year.

The bad news is the small business will never qualify for a government bail out, or should I say, a taxpayer bail out. The whole idea to me is repugnant, dishonorable and humiliating to have my brother or sister tax payer bail me out. Let my business die with honor and allow me to suffer my humility and try again another day, if I deserve it.
