Any  business can fail if not well manage. It is one thing to start a business and it another thing for the your business to stand firm for life. These are examples of Nigerian Businesses that Failed Within 5 Years:

Reason why businesses may fail
👉 Poor Customer Care/Support
Customers need proper attention for a business to survive. Without them, your product will fail to exist. When customers are not well treated or appreciated, they often become dissatisfied, leave bad reviews and patronize others.

Some small businesses fail because the owners mismanaged the business funds and there was no accountability.

👉 Inability to Communicate Value
Communication is highly important in businesses. This is the only language your customers here. Some small businesses fail because of their inability to clearly define their value propositions — that is, they fail to understand and communicate their products or services to consumers effectively.

The idea of starting a business with the wrong expectations and impatience has made many businesses to collapse within a short period of time.

👉 No Planning
Most small scale businesses start the business without a concrete plan. They rush into business because they see people make ways from it. To start a business, one need to make proper findings about the business. Failure to plan may lead to the downfall of the business.

Exactly. A business isn't a true business if it requires government subsidies in order to remain operational. I'm not oppose to government propping up businesses with subsidies if they meet the public need. A lot of farming operations receive government subsidies for the obvious reason it's within the public interest for there to be a surplus of food. More recently I'm seeing tech start ups in the green sector receive government loans/subsidies. These business wouldn't last a second without these low interest loans. And of course, when the business goes up in flames, the public is left with debt burden.

Please note that the business world is a world full of challenges, sometimes bringing in troublesome competitors.
This is where our expertise is tested in business.

but the cause of the failure of a business is sometimes not because our business is bad or our marketing is not good. but the overall economic condition of the economy can be the real obstacle. when people's purchasing power decreases. and the price of goods continues to soar. At such times it is very difficult to maintain a business. it is not surprising that as a result of an economic crisis, many shops and companies were able to close, even factories that had been around for a long time had closed because they were unable to pay employee salaries due to the products produced there had been a decline in interest in the market so that they were not selling well.
There are many factors that can make a business fail. both internal and external factors.

usually to maintain a business when we have many employees and at the same time income decreases. then the reduction of employees is the solution. despite the fact that the effectiveness is still 50:50 but it can minimize expenses. reduction of employees and reduction of production if it is a factory.
and today the global economic conditions are really worrying so that it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to survive.

Small businesses are easy to fail, very limited funding support makes the opportunity to fail is very large, moreover small businesses only rely on feeling and not good skills, just other skills and financial factors are the characters of small entrepreneurs who do not want to add abilities.

Their is no successful business without failures, but as far as one is doing the right thing in business and putting good attention to the business it definitely be successful. Reasons why most businesses don't do well is because people fail to give attention to their business.
Failure in business will always take place but when one is comfortable with the falure and not trying to make some adjustment to correct certain mistakes that means the business won't survive.

In my country a big number of startups got into existence as a result of some schemes initiated by the government. Later this turned to be mere schemes and the government failed to provide consistent support in all levels, particularly in finance. This have caused a big percentage of startups end and very few are sustaining. The governments have got big responsibility in the development of the people through entrepreneurship. Most of the time government work for the corporate that are once a strat-up.

Any business does really experience failures but we know that failures could really be having different extent on which there are some who could able to recover and there are some who do totally die.
It would really be just that normal that you would really be needing up on making adjustments for you to correct on what you had done wrong.Although there's really no assurance when it comes to success.
You wouldnt really be able to stop things whether it could really be the end of your business or you could really still able to recover it.Mistakes and errors are common
but as a business owner then you would really be striving your best on standing on your feet.

Those who are successful now have failed in the past, but I don't think there is a need for too many failures, because when there are more failures in an entrepreneur, he will get worse and take longer to get back up. The success of an entrepreneur is also due to long hard work and never give up and what don't forget is his experience in the field he is in.
Because when he had failed once or twice in his attempts, the third time would definitely not fail again because he already knew where the fault lies in the past which caused him to fail.

To become a successful entrepreneur, of course, requires a process and has failed a lot, the big entrepreneur we see today is successful when he tells it, he will say that he has experienced many failures and is almost desperate because of bankruptcy and so on, but with enthusiasm and learning from mistakes they can success.

Its not undeniable that those who stay for long in the business whether it’s small scale or big time businesses have their own formula or strategy that makes them successful. That’s one thing that make them overcome all their struggles because they have a working strategy or formula that sustain the business profits. Otherwise, if they keep on failing, then it’s hard to see entrepreneurs last long in the business industry.
