Question

Why do you think an entrepreneur might choose to keep a business small rather than expand it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Growing a business is very difficult

Explanation:

There are a lot of factors that influence business growth, a large one is the amount of time and money an owner can devote to it. Growing a business is hard - an owner may need to hire more people, find more space, buy more inventory, market to more customers, and all these activities take time and money. A lot of small business are successful because they operate in a niche, e.g. a restaurant located across the street from a factory will get customers before and after the shifts, but if the owner opened a second location in a strip mall with other restaurants nearby they need to find an entirley different customer base that already is being served. Some small businesses, e.g. candle maker at a farmers market, started as hobbies for the owner that turned into a business, but the owner can't afford to quit their day job and make candles full time. Growning a business in some ways is a lot harder than starting one.
