Currently, the fierce competition in the business world is also what makes small businesses prone to failure. because of the many competitors in the business, forcing business people to always be able to innovate and adapt quickly. and business people who adapt slowly, they are usually the first to fail. so to be able to survive in business today, of course what is needed is to continue to innovate, adapt to the environment, be it market trends or the like. skill and careful planning are also definitely a must-have. and many other factors.
When there is a business owner with 1 million dollars, and one that has 100k dollars, you know which one will win that competition. Startups are growing only thanks to big bank money to help them out, and that is how the ones that stand end up achieving something. You think facebook would have been what it is today without getting some rich people to invest into it first? Of course not, we all know that it would have been gone already, but that doesn't change the fact that it grew out of that.
So any business that starts small, without huge investors, would be prone to failure, and that is why the ones that failed are proven to be ones who didn't get that big investment.
