English term or phrase: home-based business
"... from home-based businesses to Fortune 500 companies in the United States ..."

ein bisschen lang, ich weiß...

oder "Ein-Mann-Garagenfirmen", was vielleicht besser passen könnte: "von Ein-Mann-Garagenfirmen bis zu Fortune-500-Unternehmen in den USA"

Thanks to all of you.
It is indeed a little bit tough and my brain gave out.
Maybe I was searching to hard for a short answer.
I finally opted for a longer version, like Steffen suggested: "kleine Geschäften im eigenen Heim".
Thanks once more.
