Recently in an Intuit study on the future of small business several points were listed about how and what the new small would look like.

All-access pass: The ability to plug into large-scale infrastructure,
such as Amazon’s e-commerce storefronts and UPS’ distribution
and supply chain logistics, will allow small businesses to enter
and compete in industries formerly served only by big business.


One world, one market: U.S. small businesses will serve
international markets almost as easily as their local customers.
Similarly, foreign entrepreneurs will increasingly enter the U.S.
market.


Don’t wait, innovate: Entrepreneurial firms will see their
ideas come to life, as large companies increasingly tap small
businesses for innovation. In turn, small companies gain access
to big business scale and reach.


It really says web 2.0 from the agile networks, the ubiquitous network, and web services that are easily developed on.
