33.2 million.
That’s how many small businesses there are in the U.S. alone in 2022, according to U.S. Small Business Administration. Organizations with a few hundred employees or less make up 99.9% of businesses across the U.S., and employ nearly half of the country.
These small businesses have to be scrappy. They need to find savvy ways to break out in today’s crowded market — reach new audiences, automate processes and improve efficiencies, and do more with less. The right technology can unlock all that, and then some.
According to a study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 93% of small-business owners use at least one tech platform or tool to run their business, with the average owner utilizing three different platforms. Of those, 85% report that technology platforms helped to get their business up and running, and 94% report that technology helps them run their business more efficiently and 80% say technology “helps them have more time to spend away from their businesses and with their family.”
But some may not realize that they only need one platform to achieve these goals. Zoom Workplace, our all-in-one offering brings together phone, team chat, whiteboard, meetings, and third-party integrations into a single user experience to help you get more done. And two of its core products — Zoom Phone and Zoom Team Chat — help thread together a unified communications experience that small businesses can use to foster productivity, expedite operations, and better connect with customers.
