"We think the nature of these companies is a harbinger of the nature of small business right now in the nation at large. So here are a few pertinent facts, gathered from the thousands we serve. Most Fishbowl businesses sell business-to-business, and many of them sell to big organizations (such as Wal-mart, etc.)
As you might guess, most of them are warehouses and manufacturing facilities in industrial parks. They are thriving – most are 5-10 years old. They are healthy – the average revenue is $3-8 million, and that average sum is progressively increasing. They are located in all 50 of the United States and 37 countries throughout the world.
While Fishbowl is headquartered in Utah, it might surprise readers to learn that the greatest concentration of Fishbowl-based companies is in California, weighing in at 17.4% of the sum. (A tribute to remote support capabilities.) They are loyal partners – as we like to believe that we are as well – the average customer has been with our software and company for three years, so far.
It’s fun to survey the landscape of these thousands of companies and to delight in the fact that while we’ve been growing ourselves, they’ve been growing right along with us. The power that small businesses have for each other, as partners, is huge. To see just how huge – and perhaps for a little entertainment and fun – here’s the full infographic below. What are you doing to grow and support your own small business? And how are you contributing to the success and health of all others? We welcome your comments and thoughts.
