 JAKN Network Support and Services is designed to meet the needs of small to medium size company who need IT services. 
 Total Market  For research purposes, the SBA’s Office of Advocacy defines small business as an independent business with
 fewer than 500 employees. According to the SBA, there are about  24 million small businesses in the U.S. Nationally; small
 businesses represent about 99.7 percent of all employers. Small firms generate half of total U.S. non-farm private output and
 employ more than half of the private sector work force. 
 
Target Market  Research from the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy shows that small businesses
provide the state’s largest source of new employment opportunities and a steady flow of jobs for minorities and women. As
of 2003, the Office of Advocacy estimated Texas had an estimated 1.7 million small businesses.

 businesses are retail and service-oriented firms with less than $500,000 in annual revenues.
In terms of financial growth, small business owners’ income jumped 6.4 percent between 2002 and 2003 from $90.4 billion to
