We use the terms entrepreneur and small business owner interchangeably. Are they the same or are there any differences? I decided to do some research to get answers to these questions. My findings say an entrepreneur and a small business owner (SBO) are not the same; therefore, we cannot use the titles synonymously.
Although you start out as a small business owner, somewhere along the way you either remain a SBO or you become an entrepreneur. If you are contented with earning enough profits to live a comfortable life and keep your business afloat, chances are you are a small business owner. This type of income replaces your income stream, which you earned from traditional employment. You really are not interested in growing or expanding your business. More than likely you will keep the business in your family.
Maybe you are not satisfied with the status quo, and you are very ambitious and have the drive to go beyond just surviving. You would fit the definition of an entrepreneur. You will take more risks. Entrepreneurs enjoy learning through growing and expanding their businesses. Some establish businesses for the purpose of resale after realizing a certain amount of wealth. It may take a lifetime for a small business owner to earn wealth compared to approximately five years for a successful entrepreneur.
Another difference is how innovative are you. Small business owners are not the type to "think out the box"; whereas, entrepreneurs come up with new ideas, innovations, and products, as well as construct creative, strategic marketing plans.
If you are the type who works in their business, you would be considered to be a small business owner. You are more repetitive. On the other hand, if you tend to strategically work on your business, evolving it, change target markets, if necessary, you are an entrepreneur. As a SBO, you tend to not change markets. In addition, your markets may be more general when compared with entrepreneurs who target markets are more focused.
In regards to staffing, if you are a small business owner, you may have employees, which would involve having to pay employee-related expenses; such as, benefits and taxes. As an entrepreneur, you may choose to work with independent contractors rather than having employees work for you.
There are some of you who tend to have characteristics of both groups. For example, as an entrepreneur, you may choose to keep the business in your family, just like a small business owner, rather than selling it. In addition to having this in common, there are similarities in operating your businesses. Both of you have to do some degree of advertising and marketing, as well as daily administrative functions.
Overall, a notable difference is as a small business owner, you tend to need motivation; whereas, if you can be described as an entrepreneur, you are fuelled by ambition, drive and inspiration. Although similarities exist among the two groups, according to my research findings, the two terms are not interchangeable, and there are significant differences.
Strictly speaking, I would consider a small business something like a franchise, and an entrepeneurship more of a creative endeavor.Developing a personal vision.
small enterprises have about 50 people employed in the business. a medium one has about 250 and a large one would be more than 250.
A Medium scale business usually is the result of a small business that has had slow and steady growth. The United States Small Business Administration considers any business that has surpassed the limit off 500 employees to be "large". The U.S. SBA designates small and medium scale business as SME's, or small and medium sized enterprises. The basis to determine whether a U.S. company is an SME or not is the amount of revenue the company earns yearly

The list of the small scale business includes the cyber cafe business, recharge card business, real estate business, and the fast foods business. The other types of small scale business includes food supply and bag printing business.
Small business just means a group below a certain size, with the benefits and drawbacks of operating on the smaller scale. Entrepreneurship refers to the spirit of enterprise, usually in people rather than groups, and it can apply on the big or small scale.

The differences between the these two is that linear scale shows the relation between the map distance and the ground distance. The nonlinear scale do not show the relation between the map distance and the ground distance.
The difference between internal economy of scale and external economy of scale is that internal economies of scale come from within the business ; external economies come from or affect the world outside the business.
