A small business typically has how many employees?

• A. 1-19
• B. 20-199
• C. 200 or more
• D. 50-100

Answer: (A)

Size by number of employees is how we classify businesses. Smaller operations have fewer staff, which usually means simpler management and closer owner involvement. In many business studies contexts, a small business is defined as having up to nineteen employees, so a business with one to nineteen staff fits that category. Once you go beyond that, the organization is typically considered medium or large, reflecting more complex structures and processes. The other ranges describe larger scales of operation, not small businesses. So the best answer is the one that covers up to nineteen employees.
