Letting smaller businesses off the hook here is not a good idea, since the larger businesses could just buy data off of the smaller ones, or both could belong to the same umbrella corporation and the data could be shared for nothing.

What incentive would such a small business have for operating. They would have to deliberately cap their revenue in order to maintain the business size and not run afoul of the regulation. The moment their revenue tips over, the profit maximizing behavior would be for facebook and google to use home-grown compliant solutions. Once they have a home-grown solution that complies with the law, they'd have no reason to ever again contract out the collection work.
