They like to throw out the term small business or family any time they want to invoke some sort of sympathy. Even when used accurately the term small businesses is so broad it has little meaning (https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/01/what-is-a-small-business.html):

"This definition of “size” aligns with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) definition of a small business. SBA’s Table of Size Standards provides definitions for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, that vary widely by industry, revenue and employment.

It defines small business by firm revenue (ranging from $1 million to over $40 million) and by employment (from 100 to over 1,500 employees).

For example, according to the SBA definition, a roofing contractor is defined as a small business if it has annual revenues of $16.5 million or less. But an Asphalt Shingle and Coating Material manufacturer is defined as a small business if it has fewer than 750 employees."
