The "solopreneur" represents a "market" for all sorts of business
services, many of which a "normal" business would not need.  A "normal"
business might include employees to handle many business functions "in
house", where a "solopreneur" might possibly want to outsource some of
these sorts of business functions.  In many cases one ends up with a
'fluid' collection of solopreneurs, where some of the business of many
of these solopreneurs is in fact providing some business function for a
number of other solopreneurs.  There are probably a set of solopreneurs
who operate at a 'retail' level (self-employed tradespeople, crafts
people, and the like) and many more solopreneurs whose clients are
mostly other solopreneurs and who provide the 'missing' business
functions that would normally be provided by staff people of a larger
business.
