According to the SBA definition, a small business may have up to 500 employees. The optimal number depends on the industry, market demand, and company needs. There isn’t such a thing as the perfect number of workers to help a company increase profit.
But, one thing is sure, the more employees there are, the greater the company income is. Small business statistics reveal that there are 629,025 of companies with 20–499 employees. There are far more companies with 1–19 employees — 5,305,960.
