Nothing to do with us but interesting nevertheless
A 2004 report from
the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Advocacy states that there
are 24.7 million businesses in the U.S., and that small companies with fewer
than 500 employees represent 99.9% of the 24.7 million businesses, since the
most recent data show there are just 17,000 large businesses. The SBA report
also states that 580,900 small businesses opened last year, and 576,200 closed.
Two-thirds of these new companies survive at least two years, while 44% survive
at least four years.
