Small Business Sectors Dominated by Real Estate
Real
estate is making a comeback, and it's evident in the numbers. Sageworks, a
financial data company based in North Carolina performed a study of small
business growth. The company compiled January 1 through December 31, 2012 data.
The results revealed small businesses had a growth rate of 8 percent overall
last year. The study further highlighted
the list of the ten fastest growing industries. The Top 10 List is dominated by
industries offering realty-type services. All of the RE industries outpaced the
8 percent overall growth rate for last year.
Let's
take a peek …
Number
one on the Ten Fastest Growing Sectors
is residential building construction. The industry had a growth rate of almost
15 percent (exact: 14.77). Who would have "thunk?" With all the
negative talk about the RE industry in general, residential building is on the
rebound. Investors have dollars to spend, and we're seeing it in the trend of
new homes being built in areas still littered with foreclosures. On the one
hand, it seems odd, but the proof is in the research. RE and related services
are on the way up again.
Number
five on the list of the Fastest-Growth Industries for U.S. Small Companies is architecture,
engineering, and similar services. This sector touted an 11.40% increase in
2012.
Further,
contractors who provide services related to building exteriors, foundations and
building structures experienced an 11.37 percent spurt in their fields. This
sector placed number six on the list.
Right
in line with above, the seventh industry on the Top 10 is also directly related
to realty; contractors who provide services related to home maintenance/repair,
alterations/additions, and finishing services escalated well over eleven
percent (11.32).
Similarly,
number ten on the list includes contractors who specialize in realty trades
(for example, work-site preparation contractors). The 10.04 percent growth rate
for this sector further adds a positive light for the building industry because
it signals, yet again, RE industry escalation.
Number
nine on the list is great news for those smaller contractors who work in the
REO cleanup and landscaping fields. The rate of growth in this industry was
10.11 percent last year, surpassing the overall small business escalation of 8
percent. Specifically, those entities
that provide pest solution services, and ongoing landscaping, and janitorial
and maintenance services to existing dwellings will thrive as real estate
continues to rebound.

growing.
