To the point exact to how I see it. I had the problems with this oxymoron while doing research on SMEs and am running into the same kind of difficulties while doing customer segmentation in Office123. How would you call a small business (of up to 50 people) in the US without running the risk of being misunderstood by the US counterparts? Microbusiness? Accroding to Wikipedia microbusiness is the same in Europe and the States - a company of under 10 employees. That is a very good post! To the point exact to how I see it.

For example, a hamburger joint with 90 staff may be a lot easier to run and manage than an engineering firm with 10 staff notwithstanding the dollars per employee. Software companies need to target those companies with big upside for better reporting and automation.

Turnover is USD divided by number of staff. So a business turning over $25,000,000 with 40 staff would be a 625 business. Maybe rather than SME we need a number tag.
