The last startup I worked for a customer wanted audit info on our 
corporate network. We didn't have one. We just used various cloud based 
services to get our jobs done and rented cloud based vm's for the 
customer facing services. I would imagine that a mom/pop setup would do 
the same thing these days. Having a corpro network in the small probably 
doesn't make much sense anymore let alone the fancy multihoming 
scenarios to access it. There are security implications with all of 
this, of course, but that's probably the path of least resistance.
