Over 80% of all attempts at new businesses fail. The exact extent to which all the regulatory overhead, licensing requirements, unfair competition by established companies (who have managed to jump through those hoops) and other government-imposed impediments contribute to that is incalculable, but it's undoubtedly significant.

Fun Fact 2: the vast majority of people looking for a job will be employed by businesses considered "small" You paint a much graver picture than the reality. Only a few markets are dominated by super-powerful corporations. It just happens to be that these are the markets the consumer interfaces with the most. Large corporations are at a disadvantage with customer service. In an industry where this is prized, they can't compete. I work at a vet clinic. There are 10 employees working there. The business is doing fine. Fun Fact 1: the vast majority of businesses in the US are considered “small.”

I don't see a problem with "anarcho-capitalist", except that it's a mouthful. Good point about “free marketeer”, although I think you’ll run into the same problems as “capitalist”.
