looked at another way, there are 28 million businesses in the U.S. including 22 million businesses classified as non-employers (only the owner works at the business). 7 million of all non-employee businesses have less than $5,000 in annual revenue and 85% have less than $100,000 in revenues (remember, this is revenue, not profit).
Finally of the slightly more than 6 million employer firms, about 4.6 million have revenues under $1 million (again, this is revenue, not profit).
probably 1 in a million
12,176 companies are listed on NYSE and NASDA with valuation over $10 million. They were all start-ups at one time.
