a small business
Hello!
I have two questions:
1. Does "a small business/a small-scale enterprise" mean the same as "a small business company"
2. Can we say: Stages of starting a business activity. ? ("business activity" in the sense (meaning) of "a small business/company")
Thanks in advance!

Hi Domink, and welcome to the forums.
1: Generally yes. You would not say "A small business company," though, you would say simply "a small business." Small-scale doesn't necessarily mean small business. A small business could have a lage-scale operation but do it with a few employees. But yes, more or less.
2: Stages of starting is odd - starting IS a stage. "Starting up," howe

Why does it need a sub-title? It always makes me nuts that people seem to think a title is incomplete with a colon. I like The Stages of Starting Up a Small Business as a title just fine.
There's no difference between start a business and start up a business, but (I don't have the window open, but I think) you included only a fragment. It was something like the stages of sta

I have doubts about "a small business company" Something like that exist on the Internet.
What does it mean?
1. A B2B firm which is an expert in small business (deals with small firms) and for example develops a software for them;
2. simply "a small business company"=a small firm/business/enterprise
I think that the first definition is correct. Am I right? But on
