New Findings from the SBA

I have recently found some interesting facts from the SBA regarding small businesses:

• Small businesses are 52 percent home-based and 2 percent franchises.
• Of the 23 million nonfarm businesses in 2002, women owned 6.5 million businesses. These firms generated $940.8 billion in revenues, employed 7.1 million workers and had $173.7 billion in payroll.
