Small businesses are some of my favorites to frequent, since they are usually more local and have fewer employees.
And they tend to be more personable :) Do you have any small businesses in particular you frequent?
Well it's hard to distinguish sometimes, since in Australia they count fifteen employees as a small business.
What is the standard in the United States as a comparison?
In the U.S. fewer than five thousand employees is a small business.
Oh, signifcant then. Is there anything else interesting you know about small businesses?
Well it's also different in the European Union, where they consider fifty employees to be a small business.
Oh, interesting. That's a wide variance among the three.
I know, right? Small businesses can also be classified based on annual revenues or shipments.
I guess each country really does operate differently lol.
