Monday, October 03, 2005



The Interland's Summer 2005 Business barometer was just relased and is full of interesting information related with the way small businesses are seeing and using the web and not only that.

A total of 780 leaders of small businesses participated in this invitation-only, nationwide online survey of organizations with 500 or fewer employees. Company size ranged from less than $250,000 in revenue to more than $5 million, and 81% have been in business for five years or more. Seventy-two percent of respondents said they have a business website. Industry breakouts were as follows: 33% business services, 20% personal services, 19% retail, 17% non-profit, and 11% manufacturing.
