In my opinion, small businesses can fail due to various reasons, including insufficient planning and strategy, inadequate market research, poor financial management, intense competition, and failure to adapt to changing market trends. Additionally, a lack of effective marketing and customer engagement, inability to attract and retain talented employees, and limited access to capital can contribute to failure. Overcoming these challenges requires careful planning, market analysis, financial discipline, adaptability, strong marketing efforts, customer-centric approaches, attracting skilled personnel, and seeking financial support through various channels.
