Dear Dane:
A proposal: let’s change the name from “Small Business” to “Potential Business”.
Let’s redefine it as the seed of an enterprise that will become a business no matter its size.
By business understanding a unit which produces profits by delivering a product.
An enterprise could be or not a business, but it could be a Potential Business or not.
From certain point of view, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson had an enterprise. It became a business later.(Getting it broke has been a full time job from other politicians by getting it into debt by paying “a fee” for producing every dollar to the Fed, but that is another matter.)
In other words, there are no small businesses just potential businesses.
This way the focus on small will be set on potential.
Cheers,
