Just to clarify - are you suggesting that small businesses can take on problems that some of those large businesses are having?

Wouldn't that require a lot of insider information as well as connections within those companies?

I guess my question was a lot less daring - how would one approach task of finding problems/needs within reasonable reach of his own social or geographical vicinity, such as identifying a small-to-medium businesses niche and approaching those, based on the assumption that it's easier to approach this kind of businesses.

Thanks!
