The 10 problems of least concern are generally issues of limited exposure to most small-busi- ness owners and typically find themselves at the bottom of the ranking each year. Three prob- lems are new to the top 10 of least concern and one problem in the group is new to the survey. “Exporting My Products/Services” holds onto the 75th ranking, a position held for six of seven editions that it has been listed as a problem. It moved up one position in 2000, replaced by the problem “Y2K Impacts.” Only 3 percent of small-business owners find exporting a critical problem, nearly unchanged.
