As a business owner, it is important to know where your business stands. “Am I a small business? Is my company a midmarket or midsize business?” Where does your business fall? This is the topic of the Avaya.com blog, “Defining What the Terms ‘Midmarket’ and ‘Midsize Business’ Mean.”
“I’ve found that the definition of midmarket–or even midsize business for that matter–seems to depend on who you talk to and where in the world you live,” explains blog author Gary Proefke.
“Is my Company a Midmarket or Midsize Business?”
The term midmarket or midsize business is often misused. Does your business meet the following criteria?
- According to the National Center for the Middle Market, a company must surpass the $10 Million plateau to be considered midmarket or a midsize business. Companies meeting this criteria account for one-third of private sector GDP and employ 43 million people.
- Midmarket and midsize businesses utilize technology strategically, much like large enterprise. “Unlike most SMBs, midmarket companies have an IT department, albeit one that is deficient in staff in some areas,” explains Proefke.
