Many businesses today have failed as a result of some notable factors which has not been recognized and practiced such as:
When a business lacks sufficient funds to run business might die in the process. Capital is the major flow of any type of business. If we take for example mr peter who wants to start a school business but only has #50,000. In actual sense, this amount will not sustain that business even though Mr peter struggles to start his business with this sum.
At some stage more capital will be required to keep the business moving because the fact remains that demand keeps increasing every day and a supply must be provided to meet this demand, but if there is insufficient capital to meet its present demand the business will fold up. Borrowing from the bank is not advisable to start a business because of the high-interest rates. If one borrows money from the bank there is every possibility that the business might either yield a profit or a loss.
If losses occur, the tendency of paying back the loan acquired for such business will diminish and one might run into Dept. So before one can start a lasting business one needs enough capital. So save for it before investing and not vice versa.
As we all know the world is going digital on daily basis. Marketing a business online is a great driving force and could bring a lot of awareness to many audiences. Firms like coca-cola and the like became known because of their great marketing skills online.
For any Successful business to survive the test of time one must go the extra mile, go online, and seek useful information to grow the business. There are so many online platforms one can use to increase sales just as ‘JIJI’ and ‘JUMIA’.
For instance, if one is into selling of phone, laptops, or even wristwatches one can partner with such platforms to market their products which will be displayed online.

3. Inability to register with a recognized body
Some businesses that are not registered will not go far and might remain stagnant because the right process was not followed. In Nigeria today if one wants to start a school business it is mandatory the school is registered under a recognized organization like Cooperate Affairs Commission ( CAC) for that school to be fully recognized.
If sometimes this procedure is not done the school might not grow and might even close up along the line because it might even be seen as illegal. So businesses need to be registered to bite the test of time.
4. Poor management scheme
So many businesses as a result of poor management i.e inability to produce positive results such as making a low profit, low productivity of workers, and many others. Most of the time most business owners leave the care of the business with their employees and it becomes badly managed. If for example an employee lacks the skill of customer relationship or doesn’t even have a 50% idea of how to run the business, that business will suffer great loss.
In conclusion, as a businessman or woman, you need to adhere to some basic principles that govern such a business for it to be successful. Before venturing into any business, seek for necessary data, and know the risk involved before investing your capital to get desired results even when the world is moving around.
