Why the Small Business Market is the Next Big Thing for Developers
The Appification
of Small Business
2
Small businesses are at the tipping
point of broad-based cloud adoption.
Currently, 37% of United States small
businesses are adapted to the cloud, but
an anticipated 78% will be fully cloud
operational by 2020.
For the 29 million U.S. small businesses and
the 600 million around the world hungry for
new solutions, this represents a massive
opportunity for developers to deliver new
cloud solutions that will make business more
efficient, successful, and prosperous.
This report is designed to provide developers
with core insights into the small business
cloud market opportunity.

America’s small business owners are
already running significant portions of
their businesses online.
In fact, the average small business
owner is online for four hours a day.
What isn’t so obvious, however, is what
they’re doing when they’re online.
They aren’t checking out their friends’
Facebook feeds, watching YouTube
videos, or playing Candy Crush like
the rest of us.
Instead, small business owners spend
their online time running the nuts and
bolts of their businesses.

QuickBooks Online is the
Small Business Apps Marketplace
Small business owners understand that the cloud
presents a profound opportunity to reimagine how they
run their businesses.
Much like consumers a decade ago making the switch
from flip-phones to smartphones, they understand that
the cloud offers more than the promise of an improved
product. The iPhone didn’t simply represent a better
version of a flip-phone; it completely changed what
a phone was used for.
The same holds true for the future of small business
software. This year, for the first tim ve ever, more small
businesses chose QuickBooks Online over the desktop.
They did so because they understand that it provides
much more than a better accounting application; it
represents a platform that will completely change the
way they run their operations.
By transforming QuickBooks from a product to a platform,
small businesses benefit from an ecosystem of products
and services that work seamlessly together. Developers
have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to solve this
massive, hungry market’s needs.

The View from the
Small Business Cloud
To better help developers understand how to best
approach the small-business apps opportunity, we
commissioned Nielsen, a leading research firm, to
examine how small-business owners are currently
using software solutions and mobile apps.
The research also digs into the new types of solutions
small business owners most want to see developed,
gauging their willingness to pay for apps to help run
their businesses more efficiently.

Nearly half (43%) of
small business owners
use a smartphone as

Developers at the Core of the
QuickBooks Online Ecosystem
At Intuit, we believe the QuickBooks Online platform is only
as powerful as the third-party apps that connect to it.
That’s why the new developer.intuit.com was designed to
enable developers to quickly and efficiently create game-
changing applications for small businesses.
Our goal is to create a partnership with developers
to increase app adoption, so we can expand the
QuickBooks Online platform and grow together.
We want a partner ecosystem and developer community
that are open to free discussion, willing to share best
practices, and interested in where the future of the Intuit
platform should go.
The good news is that we’re already off to great start. Many
developers are catching on to this rare opportunity to get in
on the cutting edge of a brand new market opportunity.
In fact, in the past year, developer activity on the
QuickBooks Online platform has increased 10x.
A year ago, we had
about 1,000 active
developers working
on our platform.
Today, we have more
than 10,000. A year
ago, there were 80
apps that worked
with QuickBooks.
Today, we have 796.

The Appification of Small Business

  • 1. OPEN Why the Small Business Market is the Next Big Thing for Developers The Appification of Small Business
  • 2. 2 Small businesses are at the tipping point of broad-based cloud adoption. Currently, 37% of United States small businesses are adapted to the cloud, but an anticipated 78% will be fully cloud operational by 2020. For the 29 million U.S. small businesses and the 600 million around the world hungry for new solutions, this represents a massive opportunity for developers to deliver new cloud solutions that will make business more efficient, successful, and prosperous. This report is designed to provide developers with core insights into the small business cloud market opportunity. 29M U.S. Small Businesses 600M Global Small Businesses 37% Small businesses currently adapted to the cloud A Massive Developer Opportunity The Dawn of the Cloud-Powered Small Business 78% Small businesses adapted to the cloud in 2020
  • 3. 3 America’s small business owners are already running significant portions of their businesses online. In fact, the average small business owner is online for four hours a day. What isn’t so obvious, however, is what they’re doing when they’re online. They aren’t checking out their friends’ Facebook feeds, watching YouTube videos, or playing Candy Crush like the rest of us. Instead, small business owners spend their online time running the nuts and bolts of their businesses. Top 5 Small Business Owners’ Online Tasks The Center of the Small Business Cloud is Financial Management JUN 48% Communicating with employees and business partners 58% Managing relationships with existing customers 35% Advertising to build company awareness 65% Conducting back-office work, such as bookkeeping and accounting 65% Generating invoices and/or accepting payments for their small businesses
  • 4. 4 QuickBooks Online is the Small Business Apps Marketplace Small business owners understand that the cloud presents a profound opportunity to reimagine how they run their businesses. Much like consumers a decade ago making the switch from flip-phones to smartphones, they understand that the cloud offers more than the promise of an improved product. The iPhone didn’t simply represent a better version of a flip-phone; it completely changed what a phone was used for. The same holds true for the future of small business software. This year, for the first tim ve ever, more small businesses chose QuickBooks Online over the desktop. They did so because they understand that it provides much more than a better accounting application; it represents a platform that will completely change the way they run their operations. By transforming QuickBooks from a product to a platform, small businesses benefit from an ecosystem of products and services that work seamlessly together. Developers have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to solve this massive, hungry market’s needs. 50% growth rate* QuickBooks Online Global Leadership ~1M Paid Subscribers *Per FY15 Quarterly Report
