| Region | Definition | Official baseline | Operational interpretation | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | All 50 states and the District of Columbia. | The SBA counted 36.2 million U.S. small businesses in its 2025 profile release. | Census includes repair of agricultural, construction, mining, forklift, machine-tool, and commercial refrigeration equipment within 22,907 establishments. | SBA Office of Advocacy, 2025 ↗ |

OPERATING RISKS
Where customer context
falls through.
Machine identity and previous work not available when a breakdown call arrives
Estimate, parts, technician, and customer approvals disconnected
Downtime promises and field-service follow-ups buried in messages
Recommended maintenance and replacement opportunities not revisited
CRM WORKFLOW
Enquiry. Work.
Invoice.
The useful CRM layer is a reliable handoff from the first enquiry through delivery, exceptions, billing, and the next opportunity.
METHOD & LIMITS
What the evidence
does—and does not—show.
Methodology
Pipetidy Research selects primary government, statistical-agency, and publisher-original sources. Each figure retains its source period, geography, and classification; unlike measures are not combined into a synthetic global total.
Limitations
Industry definitions differ by country and statistical system. Regional baselines describe the wider operating market and should not be read as a like-for-like market-size comparison or as evidence of Pipetidy customer outcomes.
