Dividends? What is consider a small business? And when we join this too were we wise to had it separated at the first place? It seems as some third thing. But at least I have amused you to induce me the right answer and enjoy the contrast of knowledge and ignorance.
Dividends is when the firm has more than one employees and they share profit instead of joining it for the sake of them all. Small companies mean less than hundred or fifty in Europe and small profit but they are not saying it so loud how small they respect the money more than the individuality. The essence of small business in this story is that they cannot afford to give the money but to place it back to the firm in order to grow necessarily more. And the experience from it is that you cannot do does dividends before you grow bigger.
