The way it is treated by tax authorities and the administration. If that's not enough for you, I don't know what is.

- morgante 12y agoI'm going by what nearly every normal person in the world considers a small business. For example, Wikipedia: "Typical examples include: convenience stores, other small shops (such as a bakery or delicatessen), hairdressers, tradesmen, lawyers, accountants, restaurants, guest houses, photographers, small-scale manufacturing, and online businesses, such as web design and programming, etc." If you truly believe that a corner hardware store is not a small business, please go ahead and tell that to the store. See how much they laugh at you.
- blumkvist 12y agoWhy should I enter a store and tell them something like that? And even if I do such a bizzarity why should I care that a clerk laughs at me?
- DanBC 12y agoAre you talking about an independantly owned corner hardware store? I can see your point if you're talking about a chain of stores. The definition you used does not specify minimum employee levels and I'm a bit confused why you added those minimum levels.
- blumkvist 12y agoYes, a chain of such stores sounds like a small business. A single location sounds like self employment. Micro business is the legal term, at least in the EU.
