As I enjoy working with and managing small businesses, I see a great deal of opportunities within the small business communities.
Many small business are flexible and ready to explore new ideas, one of the most powerful elements of the United States economy is within its small business community.
Developing countries started to realize the important contributions small businesses make to the local economy, although some are still far from providing the real support small businesses need.

In countries like Japan, various electronic parts manufacturing is giving to small businesses by giant corporations, this step helps in supporting the local economy in addition to creating more jobs at local levels.
Some of the benefits local communities can get from supporting small businesses:
1- Boost the entrepreneurial spirit within the local community which lead to more innovations
2- Small business owners are aware of their local communities problems and how to solve them
3- Since setting up and operating small business takes shorter time, the creation of jobs is almost immediate
4- World’s most successful companies started as a small business

So if you have the spirit to innovate and the desire to make it on your own, start as small business, you may get lucrative job offers from the corporate world, but your ideas may not take off in the corporate environment, only at small business level you will have the flexibility and freedom to innovate. If your local environment is not supporting, than fly with your ideas to more supporting environment.
