ANALYSIS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA AND TRENDS FOR COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) FOR

LINCOLN COUNTY:


PART II

INTRODUCTION

The University Center for Economic Development conducted a study of the trends of

number of businesses by size in Lincoln County. The results of this study can be used for

background material for a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) in Lincoln

County.

Trends in small business numbers will be estimated for micro-businesses (1 to 4

employees), small businesses (5 to 19 employees), and all other businesses (20 to 1,000 or more

employees). The Nebraska Micro-Business Directory (Nebraska Enterprise Opportunity

Network, 1992) defines a micro-business as a business with four or less employees. Micro-

businesses may be home-based, farm-based or street front businesses. Some are part-time

businesses while others are full-time businesses. Some micro-businesses are started by

dislocated workers, while others provide an opportunity for low-income households to become

more self-sufficient. Micro-businesses are at the leading edge of the entrepreneurship formation

process and are found everywhere: rural, urban, and suburban. Micro-enterprise business owners

provide a cash flow stream to the community, much of which will pass through the community

multiple times. An example is that a locally owned micro-business typically will invest in local

financial institutions that in turn invest in youth activities and community projects.

A healthy community depends upon a strong local economy that is diversified, and

micro-business owners are the primary contributors to that strong local economy. Any local

development strategy must include development of the micro-business segment. The local

community needs to support micro-businesses with financial, technical, and business practices

support as they take risks to move into new ways of doing business. This support is critical for

micro-businesses and therefore the community as well.

As for the state of Nevada, small businesses and entrepreneurs comprise a smaller part of

the Nevada economy than any other state in the nation (San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank,

3

2005). Specifically, the state ranks last in the nation in both its level of entrepreneurship and

share of employment in small businesses (firms with fewer than 10 employees). Nevada also

ranked relatively low in the level of private finances provided to small businesses. Finally, the

state fails on virtually every CFED measures of small business policy (Corporation for

Enterprise Development, 2002). While the usual array of SBA and other programs is augmented

with a few rural and microenterprise programs, clearly, this segment of the state’s economy

could benefit from additional support (San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, 2005).

Given this somewhat low ranking of state small business activity and assistance by the

San Francisco Federal Reserve (2005) and the Corporation for Enterprise Development (2002),

information on micro-business and small business activity and viability in Lincoln County would

be of interest to Lincoln County decision makers. This report may provide to Lincoln County

decision makers information to develop and direct local micro-business and small business

education and assistance programs.

DATA

County level Lincoln County Business Pattern Data for 1998 and 2001 were used to

derive changes in business numbers by economic sector. County Business Patterns is an annual

series that provides information as to number of businesses and employment by business

employment size for a community or zip code. Data tabulated at the industry level are defined

by the North American Industry Classification System: United States (NAICS). Data were

collected for 1998 and 2001 in order to derive trends in business numbers in Lincoln County.

Economic sector employment was collected at the six-digit NAICS level for 1998 and

2001. The number of firms for Lincoln County were classified as micro-businesses (1 to 4

employees), small businesses (5 to 19 employees), and all other businesses (20 to 1,000 or more

employees).

Changes in number of firms and the percentage change in number of firms were

calculated for each six-digit NAICS sector by the three business sizes for Lincoln County. By

investigating these trends, selected small businesses sectors with growth potential may be found.

LINCOLN COUNTY

Tables 1 through 7 show trends in business numbers by NAICS six-digit sector from

1998 to 2001 for the Lincoln County Area. Appendices 1 to 3 show the trends for each of the

six-digit NAICS sectors. NAICS sectors with no businesses in existence in the study area in

either 1998 or 2001 have been omitted from the appendices. In 1998, Lincoln County had 80

total establishments. Of these 80 total establishments, 47 establishments or 58.8 percent of total

Lincoln County businesses were micro-businesses (1 to 4 employee firms), 28 or 35 percent

were small businesses (5 to 19 employee firms), and 5 or 6.2 percent were all other businesses

County in 2001. As shown in the summary in Table 1, in 2001 there were 89 firms in Lincoln

County. Of the 89 firms, 61.7 percent or 55 firms were micro-businesses, 31.4 percent or 28

firms were small businesses, and 6.7 percent or 6 firms were classified as all other businesses.

As shown in Table 4, the two six-digit NAICS sectors with the most firms in Lincoln

County in 2001 were Commercial Banking (NAICS 522110) with 5 firms, and the Lessors of

Residential Buildings and Dwellings (NAICS 531110) and the Gasoline Stations with the

NONEMPLOYER STATISTICS

Another business establishment statistic that is useful are those covering non-employer

statistics. The non-employer statistics are detailed only at the county level. When examining

non-employer statistics one must be reminded that not all non-employer businesses are started

with the intent to grow to an employer business. In many cases, many do not have a goal of

supporting full-time or even part-time employment for the proprietor. Many non-employer

businesses are run to support a lifestyle rather than a business growth objective.

Table 9 shows that non-employer establishment numbers increased by 18 firms from

1998 to 2001. This was a 9.18 percent increase in number of non-employment establishments

from 1998 to 2001. Real receipts, that is, receipts net of inflation, increased by 7.72 percent

from 1998 to 2001. Increases in establishment numbers and real receipts were not uniform across

all sectors. Real estate, rentals and leasing sector realized a decrease of 55.93 percent in real

receipts over the period, while the other services (except public administration) sectors increased

real receipts by 70.29 percent.

SUMMARY

Since micro-businesses are at the leading edge of entrepreneurship formation process in a

community or county economy, a time series trend of micro-business, small business, and all

other business numbers may provide information to Lincoln County as to their county’s

entrepreneurial activity and climate. Results of this study can be used as background material for

a Lincoln County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to target local

entrepreneurship capacity and potential. Results of this study can also be used to ascertain if

local entrepreneurship training is needed.

It is interesting to compare the employer establishment growth of Lincoln County to the

state of Nevada and the nation. For the nation, total employer business establishments grew by

153, 480 establishments which is a 2.21 percent increase in number of employer establishments

from 1998 to 2001. For the state of Nevada, employer establishments grew by 4,250

establishments from 1998 to 2001 which was a 9.53 percent growth in number of Nevada total

employer establishments from 1998 to 2001. In comparison, Lincoln County realized an 11.2

percent increase in total employer establishments from 1998 to 2001 with a net increase of 9

firms.

14

Of particular interest for entrepreneurship formation are comparisons of trends in micro-

businesses. For the nation, the number of micro-business establishments grew by 1.49 percent

while for the state number of micro-business establishments grew by 8.91 percent. Lincoln

County bettered the national and state growth in micro-business establishment numbers from

1998 to 2001. For Lincoln County, the number of micro-business establishments realized a 17

percent increase (8 net new firms) from 1998 to 2001.

As for non-employer establishments, the nation realized an increase in non-employer

establishments of 8.1 percent. The state of Nevada likewise realized an increase in non-

employer establishments of 20.0 percent which is quite robust. Like employer establishment

numbers, non-employer establishment numbers for Lincoln County increased from 1998 to 2001

by 9.2 percent which was higher than the national and lower than the state rate.

The statistics for employer and non-employer establishments indicate that Lincoln

County is participating in the growth of small businesses as seen at the national and state level.

Perhaps one goal of the Lincoln County CEDS is to determine factors causing this business

establishment growth at the micro-business level and to develop small business training and

policies to support and increase micro-business and small business activity in the county.
