Bizstats is an exclusively online data source that focused on small U.S. businesses.  The company accumulates data from multiple sources, sorts the data into a readable format, and then posts only the critical statistics.  Bizstats gathers their data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Small Business Administration and special trade and government studies.  Other smaller sources are used and noted where applicable.

The website includes national business statistics.  Examples from the 34 categories include total number of U.S. businesses, largest employers by industry, inventory turnover ratios by industry, and employee productivity by industry.  It also contains U.S. national averages for profitability and operating ratios for small business industries.

Bizstats also includes information concerning national industry averages for all US corporations, all profitable US corporations, all US subchapter S corporations, all profitable partnerships and limited liability companies, and all profitable US sole proprietorships.  The industries included follow below:

Unfortunately, since Bizstats focused on small US businesses (which are almost all privately owned), they are not traded on the NYSE.  This causes the compilation of this data to take longer than publicly traded companies and results in non-current data.
