The business sizes chart shows the distribution of businesses according to the number of employees they employ. Definitions of what fall under a small, medium, or large business varies per country. However, in North America, small businesses are generally referred to have fewer than 100 employees, medium-sized businesses employing anywhere from 100 to 500 employees. Anywhere above 500 employees falls under large enterprises. The chart helps understand the profile of businesses in community. Having a huge portion of businesses with a small workforce generally means that the municipality is more or less diversified, and that small and medium-sized enterprises have a huge influence on the municipality’s economy.
