Its possible, but I can see why, usually most businesses will move from BPS to a full blown BES after they see the benefits of the way the BB's benefit there business and want more then just the 30 devices they are alloted. However itd be beneficial for them to develop a small business version with up to around 50 devices so it won't turn small businesses away that do only have a small amount of users and want to take advantage of BES. In my consulting firm we have a limited number of employees and can't justify spending the 4000-5000 for only 3-4 users on BES when I run BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile devices in our organization.
