small business:

... an enterprise as an operating entity with a limited number of employees; a business of limited size. The nanocorp may be considered the smallest but there is also the micro-business to consider. The important thing to note from the standpoint of economic development is that small businesses create jobs. That includes the nanocorp with one employee as a independent worker who is also the small business owner.

Many small business owners are hands-on managers. The easiest place to find them is in the local economy. They are usually credited with creating the most jobs in any economy.

The website of the US Small Business Administration (SBA) has a Guide to Size Standards. The website of the European Commission (Europa) has information about small and medium-sized enterprises with a definition of the acronym SME.
