# Support Small Businesses

## Business size definitions (by number of employees)

                AUS     US      CAN     EU
Minute/micro    1-2     1-6     1-4     <10
Small           <15     <250    1-99    <50
Medium          <200    <500    100-499 <250
Large           <500    <1000   >500    <1000
Enterprise      >500    >1000   N/A     >1000

### Rule of thumb

* Minute/micro: The scale of a family
* Small: The scale of a school class
* Medium: The scale of the same year students
* Large: The scale of a whole school


Because more small businesses means less wageslaves and more capit
alists. The problem of capitalism is that there are too few capita
lists.

Also, small businesses are probably more local and would use more
low-tech.
