Is The Term ‘Small Business’ Demeaning?


The New York Times:

Do you consider yourself a small-business owner? Or does that phrase make you cringe?

Often, the terms entrepreneur and small-business owner are used interchangeably – but that’s not quite right either.

Clearly, not all entrepreneurs are small-business owners and not all small-business owners are entrepreneurs. Still, there has to be some way to distinguish big businesses from, uh … not big businesses.

Is there a better term? Anyone got a suggestion?
