Taking The Right Route For Small Business Profit

Those big guys – the enterprise companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Wal-Mart – might generate most of the revenue in the United States, but according to a recent JP Morgan Chase Institute study, more than 99 percent of America’s 28.7 million firms are small businesses. The vast majority (88 percent) of employer firms have fewer than 20 employees, and nearly 40 percent of all enterprises have under $100k in revenue. 20 percent of small businesses are employer businesses and 80 percent are nonemployer businesses.

Small businesses are an anchor of the US economy. Even so, business-financing website fundera reports that according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: about 20% fail in their first year, and about 50% of small businesses fail in their fifth year. Making a profit is the key to staying in business. So, which small businesses are most profitable?
