One of the most common truisms that people throw out is that “small business is the backbone of the American economy.” While the phrase is certainly overused, it does highlight an important truth, which is that, according to the 2021 data, 99.9 percent of United States businesses are small businesses. What’s more, nearly 50 percent of American employees are employed by small businesses - see the best payroll tools for them - equivalent to 58.9 million people.
Although small businesses are all around us, defining what a small business is can feel elusive. What exactly constitutes a small business? Is it the same thing as a startup? Read on to find out what a small business is and what the SBA definition of a small business is as well. In addition, remember that you can always get professional advice from top formation services and registered agents when forming your business, as long as you know where to look.

What Is a Small Business?
There are several definitions of a small business. The reason for this is because there are various institutions, such as the Small business Administration or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), define a small business differently and for different purposes. Naturally, the IRS’s main focus for defining a small business is related to tax purposes. Whereas for the SBA, defining a small business is important for qualifying for SBA and federal government programs. Indeed, satisfying the SBA’s definition of a small business is very important because SBA loan programs and contracting opportunities are specifically reserved for small businesses.
The average American likely has their own standard or definition of a small business, oftentimes thinking of a downtown shop or restaurant, for example. This perception could be based in part on reality because, according to the Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs, firms employing fewer than 20 workers account for 89 percent of companies in the U.S. However, small businesses can certainly employ more than 20 workers and be considered a small business.
The IRS mentions on their website that small businesses are those with assets under $10 million. But it’s not an official definition of a small business. The definition of a small business according to SBA standards is more official and more complex.
SBA Definition of Small Business
The SBA has size requirements in its definition of a small business. However, these size requirements vary according to industry as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. For example:
In the manufacturing industry, companies with 500 employees or fewer are considered a small business.
In non-manufacturing industries, companies with average annual receipts of less than $7.5 million qualify as a small business
The main method that the SBA uses to define small businesses is through its Small Business Size Regulations. These are primarily based on two measures: the average annual receipts or the average employment of a company. The SBA size standard represents the largest size that a business can be while remaining classified as a small business for SBA and federal contracting programs. Thus, if the size standard is based on the number of employees, a size standard of 1,000 would mean your company would need to have 1,000 employees or fewer to be considered a small business by the SBA.
Depending on the industry sector — for example, mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction or utilities or construction— small businesses can be defined by millions of dollars in average annual receipts or by the number of employees. But even within a sector, subsectors can be defined by one or the other. For instance, within the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector, small businesses under the subsector, support activities for mining, are defined by average annual receipts, while all other subsectors are defined by the number of employees.
The Importance of SBA’s Size Definition of a Small Business
Complying with the SBA’s size definition of a small business is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, you must meet the SBA’s definition because their SBA loan programs and federal government contract work depend on your company qualifying as a small business by their standard. One of the SBA’s primary roles is to protect and support small business in the U.S. Hence, being properly classified as a small business is a necessary condition in order to qualify for their programs. If you don’t meet their definition, then your company will not be able to qualify, let alone get approved, for funding such as an SBA loan.
Full SBA Table of Standards for Small Business by Industry and Subsector
Here you can find the SBA Table of Small Business Size Standards Matched to NAICS Codes, which you can use to determine if your small business fits the definition as laid out in terms of average annual receipts or number of employees. The SBA calculates annual receipts based on all revenue in whatever form — including sales of products or services, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, fees or commissions — received or accrued by a business. For calculating the number of employees, the SBA counts all individuals employed on a full-time, part-time or other basis, including employees obtained from a temp agency, professional employee organization or leasing concern.
Here's a breakdown of what constitutes a small business across major industries and all their subsectors. The table includes the overall industry sector, each subsector with its respective NAICS code, and the maximum size standard in terms of either average annual receipts or by number of employees.
