MicroBusiness
There is some controversy over the definition of a MicroBusiness. Many sources list them as businesses having fewer than 5 employees.

Growing Down refers to a process of streamlining and increasing productivity to improve profitability. It does not result in unfair treatment to employees, or in a reduction of quality of products or services.
