- Over 150,000+ small
business employees in California. Just one person from about 20% of the
total number of small businesses with employees. If we get traction among the
viewers, this number will grow the largest.

viewers who use small business services in California. Less than 1% of the
total population. Virtually everybody every day uses the services of small
businesses.
- 200,000 people who want or
need to start the business of their dreams: the under-employed among our
large business - corporate employees and the unemployed. The unemployed alone
in California is over 200,000 people. All of them should be
