What business is better: small business or big business?

1. As we know, there are two general types of business: small business on the one hand and big business on the other. Many people think that small business is more interesting than big business. At the same time they think it is more popular than the big one. Experience shows that small business is better for the people who own it, and big business is better for the employees who work in it.

2. Why is it so? May be because in small business labour costs and overheads are less than in big business. So poorer people can make more profit. But in big business richer people can spend money on all types of costs and stimulate workers with higher wages. Only experience can help you to understand this difference and to know what you like more and what you like less. Sometimes the least profitable business may become the most interesting one.
