Abstract
This report provides size of business and vertical industry perspectives of market statistics on the number of firms and employees in the small business market. The research also provides data on the primary work environments of employees in this market, including the number of telecommuters, Internet-accessing telecommuters, and remote branch offices. Detailed five-year forecasts are included for all small business demographics, along with a discussion of current market trends.

As the economy slowly turns the corner to recovery, demographic and spending growth is clearly accelerating in the small business market. In short, this is a “small business-led” recovery. Because these firms respond to change in the economy more quickly than their larger counterparts, they are multiplying and prospering more quickly in this improving economic environment. More importantly, the outlook for this market is quite positive, with the economy expected to remain strong through 2006, barring any dramatic world events. As the number of firms and employees grows in the small business market, vendors can expect these businesses to increase their IT investments this year and beyond.
