Sorry I should have been clearer.<p>I was referring to the type of small businesses that start <i>very slowly</i>, as is the case when someone with a current job wants to start a business but doesn't have the money to do so full time.<p>Most people I know who start non-tech businesses fall into this category. It may be a year or two before they are able to support themselves full time.<p>For them, they could use that $1,000+ to pay part time workers to help them grow faster.
