GREEN BAY (WFRV)  There's no doubt that Georgia Pacific is a big business in Northeast Wisconsin. And these shops along Broadway are smaller players. But Advance Business Center officials say the Small Business Administration has it's own view.

"It's five-hundred or less for a small business. And over the past several years that's been debated," said Ryan Kauft, who works with small business tenants at the center.

Advance gives entrepreneurs a chance to jump start their businesses. DVM Connexx is an IT company with eight employees. But it's digital xrays for veterinarians have a wide impact.

"We're a team of eight here. So very small and we have a very niche market. Though we actually operate in 16 countries,"  said Kevin Scholz, President of DVM Connexx.

That economic potential has many communities looking to help such small firms grow. By attracting them to industrial parks, they can quickly expand.

"You can also look to your industrial parks..some of those buildings are huge. But that have maybe 30 employees or maybe a hundred employees,"  Kauft said.
