different countries, different stages of economic development, and different industries define different standards, and they change dynamically with economic development. Countries generally define small and medium-sized enterprises from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The qualitative indicators mainly include the organizational form, financing method and industry status of the enterprise, while the quantitative indicators mainly include the number of employees, paid-in capital and total assets. Quantitative indicators are more intuitive than qualitative indicators, and the data selection is easy. Most countries use quantitative standards to divide them. For example, the American Small Business Act promulgated by the US Congress in 2111 defines the number of small and medium-sized enterprises as no more than 511 employees, while Britain and the European Union adopt quantitative indicators, they also use qualitative indicators as a supplement.
