The small business segment (firms with annual revenue of less than $10 million and fewer than 100 employees) is the largest segment in the US, with over $5 trillion in sales receipts and over $1 trillion in payroll. Banks face unprecedented competition from both banking and nonbanking institutions that seek to lure small business clients with a smorgasbord of products and services. Most banks use their existing commercial or retail product lines to service small business clients, but these lines will not suffice in the future. To attract small business, banks' offering must go beyond deposit and credit.
