The proportion of micro businesses - sole traders and self-employed people - across Devon is nearly double the national average.
For many, living here is their career choice. They use their ingenuity and guile to find something useful they can do that also earns them enough money to be able to stay.
They doubtlessly form a crucial part of the economy but they make this area such an interesting and diverse place to be. Not only am I proud to be one of them, I've built my business around supporting them.
I've teamed up with the wonderful Devon Life to write a regular - and hopefully funny - blog celebrating the joys and pitfalls of being a spare room tycoon.
