小即是美，有多美？24/7Wall St.根据S&P Capital IQ的数据评出了美国100家最佳小企业。上榜企业入围标准为：公开上市交易且公开交易额超过5百万美元，营收低于10亿美元。
这些公司虽然规模较小，但在过去几年中的收入实现了持续、快速增长，在未来具有可期的，持续的盈利能力。
小企业通常聚焦于一到两个核心市场。例如Steven Madden ，True Religion 以及rue 21植根于服装与鞋类市场。多样化的缺乏可能是他们的缺陷，但这同样意味着管理层能更聚焦于单一的机会。
另一个有代表性的行业是医疗服务行业。处于本行业的公司都只开展一种单一的业务。例如Mesa Labs为医疗器械行业提供质量控制产品。这是一个狭窄的市场，也不能确保大的医疗器械企业不涉足这一市场。Bio-Reference Laboratories提供检测服务。Cantel Medical提供传染病防控设施。传染病防控业务看起来是一个很小的业务，但会受益于美国医疗产业的高速成长，具有很好的发展预期。
小企业是创造就业机会的重要支撑。此外，相比经济衰退阶段，目标明确、运营良好的小企业更易获得融资，并拥有卓越的表现。这些企业在过去一年中，营收平均增长20%，每股收益平均增长30%。值得一提的是股价报酬平均增长16%，达到标准普尔500指数回报的2倍。
