SBA by Corcoran, Shannon https://padlet.com/corcorans2/rnbfh94la7xi The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is responsible for setting the standards for the definition of a small business in various categories (industries). Let’s go to the SBA website and learn more about these standards. Follow the link below and learns about small business size standards. Then go to the table found as a hyperlink in the article to identify an industry that interests you. Provide the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and further explain what the standards are for that industry. Also, explain to your fellow students why you selected that industry and what surprised you about the information the site provided. Try to be unique and don’t’ select an industry that has already been reported on by another student.

I choose an assisted Living because my mother owns her own Assisted living. So I was curious on the standards that were set for her type of Business. 
My moms business would be classified under 
Which was hard to decide as my moms business is a mix of all three. She is a nurse but I wouldn't consider it a nursing facility such as a nursing home or hospital environment, the care is provided in our home but it is separated into private apartments per each resident. 

"623311 Continuing Care Retirement Communities
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing a range of residential and personal care services with on-site nursing care facilities for (1) the elderly and other persons who are unable to fully care for themselves and/or (2) the elderly and other persons who do not desire to live independently. Individuals live in a variety of residential settings with meals, housekeeping, social, leisure, and other services available to assist residents in daily living. Assisted living facilities with on-site nursing care facilities are included in this industry.

Cross-References. 
  • Establishments primarily engaged in providing inpatient nursing and rehabilitative services are classified in Industry 623110, Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities);
  • Assisted living facilities without on-site nursing care facilities are classified in U.S. Industry 623312, Assisted Living Facilities for the Elderly; and
  • Apartment or condominium complexes where people live independently in rented housing units are classified in Industry 531110, Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings."

The reason I choose this was because I have worked for 2 grooming businesses and wanted to know what their classifications were. I was surprised to see that there were so many things you could do with it such as a animal shelter, grooming, boarding, and pet sitting.

This classification is for establishments primarily engaged in operating amusement arcades and parlors. This category is loosely grouped together with gambling slot machines and video slot machines but is defined as "non-gambling" machines. This would also include coin operated video games and rent by the hour terminals.

Also includes:

This includes establishments that are retailing specialized lines of merchandise while excluding: motor vehicle and part dealers, furniture and home furnishing stores, electronics and appliance stores, building material and garden equipment, food and beverage stores, health and personal care stores, gas stations, clothing stores, hobby, book and music stores, general merchandise stores, sporting goods, office supplies, art dealers, manufactured home and pets.

Other examples of businesses under this code would include flower shops, candle shops, collector items, hot tub stores, and firework stores in permanent locations.

I decided to research this code because I believe Wisconsin will soon approve a bill that allows for medicinal marijuana. What I found most interesting about this research is that this code covers a very large array of stores. I found it interesting that this did not have its own code like tobacco. However this could be because it is still to new of a niche and that it will take time to grow into the size of those segments.

Roasted coffee includes whole and ground beans. Tea is composed of tea bags as well as instant or loose tea. Coffee concentrates are freeze-dried, frozen, or liquid concentrates. Businesses may provide their customers with grinding equipment in order to maintain product quality. The small business size standards for the coffee and tea manufacturing company is 750 employees. I would say that for being a small business 750 isn't terrible considering that many other small businesses listed were roughly 1,000 employees.

I was surprised to see that a lot of manufacturers handling the coffee and tea business were located in the U.S. Some of the top revenue businesses mentioned were from North Carolina, Ohio, and Los Angelos. When thinking about coffee and tea globally from tea blends, coffee extracts, and syrups, I was surprised that none of these products were manufactured out of the United States.

I chose this code to research due to the fact that I was curious to know more about the coffee and tea manufacturing and what this code was composed of. For a person like myself who loves coffee and tea, I was shocked to see the array of NAICS codes that linked to the coffee and tea manufacturing classification.

The casino on the premises has table wagering games, slot machines, and sports betting. The casino hotels tend to offer a range in services such as food and beverage, entertainment, swimming pools, valet parking, and conference/ convention facilities.

I chose this industry to cover because while it is a limited industry in terms of where it casinos can be built, it is a very profitable industry to be in. There are millions of people out there that love to gamble, some recreational and some professional. Either way, these people are spending up to tens of thousands of dollars at these casinos and are making the owners rich out of their minds. If I could own any kind of business out there, I would for sure choose to own a casino just based on the potential earnings that may be earned.

One thing that I found surprising was that out of the top 10 hotel casino revenue businesses, 6 of them are located inside Las Vegas, Nevada. I understand that gambling is legal inside Nevada, but I wouldn't think that 6 of the top 10 (including the top 3) would be located inside Las Vegas especially when you have other major cities such as Reno in Nevada. Only 3 of the other top 10 casinos are outside of Nevada, which include Wyomissing, PA, Saint Louis, MO, and Atlantic City, NJ.

 I chose this sector because I come from a family of hunters primarily duck, goose, and turkey and many times it is treated as a family activity. I always enjoyed going out and observing nature on the quiet days, with a touch of excitement when a duck flew over. I feel it is important to preserve the wildlife we have and ensure that hunters do not over hunt so that the activity can be enjoyed for a long time to come. The game and hunting preserves help keep wild life in check and allow hunting to continue. The game preserves allow the animals to reproduce and flourish while the hunting preserves give a place for hunting to take place. I was a bit surprised that farm raising animals, like rabbits is under the section of hunting and trapping as I would have thought this would be under a section like forestry and farming.  Some businesses involved it this industry are:
 
 Wildlife Managment Institure
Audubon Society of RI
K D Clark Services Inc
Clarendon Farms LLC
Los Cuernos Inc
California Wildlife Center
Tri-State Outfitters Inc
Crow Butte Outfitters LLC
Apex Wildlife Control LLC
Super Lucky Casino Inc 
 
The SBA also stated this: 
"Cross-References. Establishments primarily engaged in--
·        Operating nature preserves--are classified in Industry 712190, Nature Parks and Other Similar Institutions; and
·        Farm raising rabbits and other fur-bearing animals--are classified in Industry 112930, Fur-Bearing Animal and Rabbit Production."

I chose this industry because I have spent 23 years within this industry and have thoroughly enjoyed cooking and making people happy with food. I was born into a family where we always gathered in grandma's kitchen. I always helped her and learned that the way to cooking a great meal is creating recipes and not having a measuring cup in sight. Grandma always used words such as a dash of this or a pinch of that. I have always had the dream of running my own establishment. The thing that surprised me was the size standard in millions.  This surprised me because I thought the size standard wouldn't be quite that high.

This industry includes establishments involved in operating warehouse merchandise and storage facilities. These establishments generally handle merchandise in containers and use equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks.

I chose this industry because at my dad's retail store (Rudy's Feed n' Seed) we have a warehouse in the back, which would fall under this category. The retail store features a storefront with a warehouse for storage out back. Considering the warehouse is a huge part of running the business, I figured it would be interesting to dig deeper and find out a little more about the industry.
 What surprised me is that FedEx is actually the only business that I recognize out of the top ten largest establishments in this industry. I figured I would recognize more organizations from the general warehousing industry.

The types of businesses in this category would be pet stores/shops or pet supply stores. This industry allows for pet grooming services, but does not allow for pet care services or veterinary services.

I selected this NAICS code because I have an interest in businesses related to pets and wanted to learn more about this type of industry. Katie already did the pet care industry, so I decided I would chose another one that is closely related. I was surprised to hear that the size standard in dollars is so high. A business in this industry making 20 million dollars annually is still considered a small business by the SBA.

This could include drilling, production, and derrick equipment. A derrick is a device used above an oil or gas well for lifting purposes. If you’ve ever seen on television where oil shoots out of the ground and there is a tower like structure above it, that’s a derrick. The equipment or machinery can be used in both land and water drilling applications. To qualify as a small business the business must have fewer than 1,250 employees. 

I chose this code because it relates to my current employer Chart Energy & Chemicals. In La Crosse they build brazed aluminum heat exchangers which are used in cryogenic processing of gas and chemicals. This product would fall under gas well equipment. When natural gas or other types are extracted from the earth they must be purified and separated from each other. To do this the gas is cooled to subzero temperatures through the exchanger and then the different compounds separate. 

While the La Crosse site is well under the employee amount, but they are only one site of many within Chart’s portfolio. Chart as a whole exceeds this amount and would not be considered a small business. What surprised me was there wasn't more specific types of products categorized, but the industry has so many types of products I guess it would be feasible to do so.

This is under the Social Assistance Industry and the NAICS code is 624410. It involves being engaged in providing day care for infants or children. They generally care for preschool children but, can care for older children when they are not in school. They may also offer pre-kindergarten educational programs. Some different examples are child day care babysitting services, nursery schools, child or infant day care centers, and preschool centers (Admin).

I chose this industry because I work with children preschool to fifth grade.  I am very interested in starting my own child day care service that will have educational programs for the preschool age. One thing that interested me was that preschool centers would be under the same category. I would think they would fall more under the school category. I am very interested to find more out about this industry.

This service located under the Educational Services sub sector, the NAICS code is 611710. The primary function of this industry is to provide non instructional services that support educational processes or systems. Examples of this industry include educational consultants, educational testing, educational guidance counseling services, student exchange programs, and educational testing evaluation services. The industry currently has a size standard of 15 million dollars. 

I chose this industry to research because I currently work with children and adults that require educational support services. Through taking some of my participants to educational testing clinics, reading services, and educational counseling, I have obtained a greater understanding on how important and necessary these services are. Without some of these services, many individuals would not receive the proper education they need to successfully transition into adulthood and society on their own. To add, it is important for myself to be aware of the services in this sector because it may be my future career field. While reading this information, I found it interesting that "school bus attendant" correlated with this industry. All of the other services were education-based for individuals, but school bus attendant is a very broad position and is often used for safety reasons.

This industry in size standards is near 38.5 millions dollars. Sports teams and clubs is found under performing arts and spectating sports. This sector can range from large scale operating sports like the NFL and NBA, or be for western technical college sports. I chose this category because it is so widespread and I grew up playing sports and being in clubs my whole life. I was in, golf, tennis, basketball, and baseball. This had me interested because multiple people used clubs and sports as an escape to enjoy something they liked to do. Some jobs that could be included in this category are, ticket sales, marketing for sports teams, being on sports teams and clubs. The big money comes from the players. Players and agents of big contract deals can make up words of 100 million dollars.

These establishments typically handle goods in containers, such as boxes, drums or barrels and they use equipment like forklifts or pallet jacks to move these items around the warehouse. They won't handle any bulk items typically in the warehouse, and they typically have a large variety of different items.
I chose this industry, because it i something that I deal with everyday at work. I work at Kwik Trip and moving items around the warehouse, whether it's to the correct trailer to be loaded or to make more room for more items that are coming into the warehouse. I think it's very surprising that these items are typically not held in bulk, because personally I feel that it would be easier to hold one or two items in bulk, rather than a bunch of items. Obviously that wouldn't be the case for Kwik Trip, because they have a large amount of items that they need to constantly stock in their stores, but I can see a small storage company holding a few items.

The standard for industrial sand mining is operating industrial grade sand pits, dredging for industrial grade sand, and preparing industrial grade sand. The size standard of employees is 500. Industrial Sand Mining is part of Subsector 212, Mining (expect oil and gas). This code has 14 different entity classification inside of it. From sand blasting to sand mining. I selected this industry, because I have always been fascinated by their operations and how much they generate from sand. Where I work, we do a lot of business with local sand mines, so going on site all the time I get to see what they do first hand. I have been going on-site at a sand mine for about once a month for two years, and I still get excited. Seeing how they operate and move so quickly is very interesting. How many people these sands mine employee is very cool to see as well. From the reading on the site, what I found most surprising was how many different entity classifications are under one name. It was crazy to see all the different aspects of a sand mine and what is classified to be sand mining. I also was surprised that the standard size was 500 employees, I thought there would be more.

The North American Industry Classification System code is 532412. The size standards for this industry is if “a concern is small for this purpose if it:
(a) Together with its affiliates, does not have more than 250 employees; 
(b) Maintains management and control of the actual mining operations of the tract;                and 
(c) Agrees that if it subleases the Government land, it will be to another small             business, and that it will require its sublessors to agree to the same. “ (ECFR).
I selected this industry because of the big debate in mining coal on the decrease usage would decrease greenhouse gasses being produced and lower environmental risks. The information that surprised me off the site was there was more than one standard needed to consider a small size standard. After initially reading about it at first, I thought either the number of employees the business has or the amount of receipts the business obtains constitutes the size. But I learned there are other factors as well.

This industry includes studios that provide still, video, or digital photography services. I chose this because I have always been interested in photography. I bought a fancy camera a couple years back and I want to get into doing it seriously. Usually when I get the option to choose a business I choose an online resale clothing store. I decided I wanted to switch things up. There were many subsections of this code. For example, passport photography was included. That surprised me because I always lumped that in with the post office. Siccode.com had a list of the industry leaders, and Lifetouch was number one.  I loved this because It brought me back to elementary and high school picture days.  This Cross reference list came directly from siccode.com as well, I thought it was interesting how commercials and photojournalism were included in this list. Although similar, my mind think they are completely different industries.

I was very surprised that this was labeled under small business's. This business provides all kinds of different boats like recreational boating and commercial boating. This code goes more in depth about what type of materials they can use on boats and how big there motors can be exedra. What that means is there are many types of platforms they can build for these types of boats and how they should be made. This industry employs a 1,000 employees. I thought that seemed like a lot right away but compared to many other companies it is not.

I choose this topic because I just bought my second boat last fall and I couldn't be more happy about the purchase. Being on the river is one of my most favorite things.

The Industry is in the 38.5 million dollar area for the size standards. Sports teams and clubs is considered under spectator sports or arena games that are paid by an anual or bi anual customer. I chose this because i have a vast interest in all things sports especially if it comes with a business side.]]> 2019-01-12 15:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/corcorans2/rnbfh94la7xi/wish/319956632 311421 Fruit and Vegetable Canning Jessica Howe https://padlet.com/corcorans2/rnbfh94la7xi/wish/319993597 The small business size standards determine the maximum number of employees a business can have and still be considered a small business. This number varies from industry to industry.  

The industry I chose to research is Fruit and Vegetable Canning (311421) in Subsector 311: Food Manufacturing. The maximum amount of employees allowed to be considered a small business in this case is 1000. I chose this industry because I am interested in potentially producing my own canned fruits and vegetables. 

The information I found interesting is that not only are full-time employees considered when totaling this number, but part-time and temporary employees count as well. The count is based on a 12 month average. More surprisingly, part-time employees are counted the same as full-time employees, even though they work less hours.

This figure varies according to the industry
The industry I looked into was Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products
The maximum number of employees it can have is 500 for it to be still considered a small business. This falls under subsector 113 NAICS code 113210. I chose this business because it is not a common business and it is important to look at all businesses. The information I found most interesting was the variety of industries that are covered and the broad range they include.

Therefore I find the fitness and recreational sports centers very interesting. The number of employees to still be considered a small business changed from industry to industry. The Maximum amount of employees to still be considered a small business is not listed. The size standards in millions of dollars to be considered a small business is $7.5. The NAICS code is 713940 and the subsection is 713. What surprised me the most is that fitness and recreational sports centers are grouped with gambling in terms of subsections. I plan to one day manage my own fitness center based around the sport of powerlifting. ]]> 2019-01-13 19:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/corcorans2/rnbfh94la7xi/wish/320084311 Residential Property management- Corey Thompson https://padlet.com/corcorans2/rnbfh94la7xi/wish/320116942 I chose residential property management because I plan to do this to some extent in the future. My uncle owns two large property management businesses, one in Rochester and one in Northern Michigan, in which I am interested in working for when I am out of College. The size standard for this is $7.5 million, with an unlisted standard number of employees. The NAICS code for residential property management in section 53, subsection 531. I was quite surprised how much bigger the size standard was for the leasing of residential property which is about five times as large as just the property management.

I'm a little surprised the number isn't higher for many of the categories because the furniture market is very competitive and is dominated by large players. I can understand that some specialty sectors, like Custom Architectural Woodwork and Millwork, have a lower threshold.
This is found in sections 31-33, subsector 337. I chose this because I have worked in the furniture industry for almost 9 years, but there is still a lot I can learn about it.
