13 Eight reasons why many small businesses fail. 13
14 Competitive Advantages of a Small Business Can maintain a closer relationship with its customers, employees, and its suppliers Has a smaller base, and hence can provide more individual attention to its customers Because of lower overhead, smaller firms can perform more efficiently. Small firms have greater flexibility because their size lets them adopt new processes, services, materials, and products. 14
15 Competitive Advantages of a Small Business (contd.) Small companies encourage competition in design and efficiency and help prevent larger firms from forming monopolies. The owner of a small business retains an element of control and autonomy that is dispersed in a larger company. Small businesses tend to produce well-rounded people because they provide a greater variety of learning experiences and more potential for 15 diversified interaction.
16 Competitive Advantages of a Small Business (contd.) The opportunities for freedom in decision making and the variety of activities leads to more creative and aggressive leadership. Small businesses tend to attract good management personnel and so reduce the overall chance of failure. Management people are attracted to smaller firms because: Advancement within smaller firms can be accelerated. Personnel tend to have greater responsibilities and duties. Work experience tends to be more diversified. 16
17 Disadvantages of a Small Business Some disadvantages of small business: The inability to hire qualified employees Lack of funds for expansion Tax burdens Limited or nonexistent credit with suppliers High costs for advertising Coping with competition Many of these disadvantages can be linked directly to improper planning and misuse of funds Success or failure revolves around Inadequate managerial ability Inadequate financing Poor competitive position 17
