When determining what counts as a small business, the Small Business Administration considers several factors including industry, degree of competition, average firm size and startup costs. This helps the government determine which businesses qualify for their small-business programs.  

Most small businesses can be defined either by revenue or by number of employees. Some businesses, such as financial institutions, may be judged by a different metric such as asset size. The revenue limit range for a small business is $750,000 to $38.5 million. The employee limit range for a small business is 100 to 1,500 people.
