Online Stores are a Key Growth Tool for Small Businesses
E-Commerce presents the most significant growth opportunity for a wide range of small businesses in the United States. The number of these companies selling goods and services online will grow from 850,000 at the end of 1999 to 2.9 million in 2003.
According to Forrester Research, Inc., e-commerce sales will increase at a steady 19 percent year-over-year rate, rising to $229 billion in 2008 from an estimated $95.7 billion in 2003. By 2008, online retail sales will account for 10 percent of total U.S. retail sales.
