If you are a small business in Australia, you are not alone. Based upon the Australian Governments, ‘’Small Business Counts’’ report (2016), small business employing less than 19 people accounted for 97% of all Australian business by employee size!

“Using the employment measure of small business, there were 2,065,523 small businesses in Australia employing less than 19 people, accounting for 97 per cent of all Australian businesses by employee size. There were 51,000 medium sized businesses, employing 20 to 199 employees, which is 2.4 per cent of all firms. Only 3,700 Australian firms employed over 200 people in 2015, meaning that large businesses account for only 0.2 per cent of all Australian businesses.”

“The majority, 61 per cent, of Australian businesses by number are sole traders with no employees. Micro business with 1-4 employees account for 27 per cent of Australian businesses. Small businesses with 5-19 employees comprise 9 per cent of Australian firms. Only 3 per cent of Australian businesses have 20 or more employees.”
