104. to me that is just a myth

Of course, it depends on how you define a "small" business.

From where I sit, my business was a small business. It was a one man operation with about $18,000 in annual gross sales. It wasn't even a going concern, but it was on the main street of a small town for over seven years. (There's that word again. Some people consider Lawrence, Kansas to be a "small town" (compared to what?))

The factory where I worked, with 200 employees - I do NOT consider that to be small. Compared to my shop that is quite large.

But what is the standard? Compared to Wal-mart or RCA that is tiny.

The question is, what does somebody think of when they hear the word "small business"? Do they think of places with a dozen or less employees, or do they think of a place with 200? Is the division between small-large-and huge, or is it between big-small and tiny? Most people are working for fairly large places, places with more than 20 employees.
