Small Business Profiles for the States and Territories

    The Office of Advocacy’s Small Business Profiles for the States and Territories [pdf file] supply data on small businesses in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The publication also provides national-level data and limited data on the U.S. territories. The usefulness of the publication is the great detail it provides about small businesses at the state level. The following topics are covered: the number of firms, demographics of business ownership, small business income, banking, business turnover, industry composition, and employment gains and losses by size of business. Detailed historical data may be found in the Small Business Economic Indicators and the Small Business Economy reports.

    Please note: The individual profiles in the 2008 column below are identical to the complete version, available as a pdf file (above) and in print. These profiles were prepared in 2008 and updated prior to their publication in January 2009.

    The state and territory profiles are in Adobe PDF in text format. Download the Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF Files or Convert PDF files if necessary.
