Top tech and internet companies are extremely ruthless in financial fraud, slavery, cybercrime, human rights abuses on online business owners in some countries, criminally defaming them, falsely claiming cheater housewives and other frauds own the business to get all the frauds lucrative no work, no investment government jobs

Without the financial backing to invest in growth opportunities, technological upgrades, and marketing efforts, it can be difficult for these businesses to compete with larger corporations. Small businesses to focus on their strengths and find creative ways to overcome their limitations in order to thrive in a competitive environment.

The challenges of small-scale business is lack of resources and recruiting the right talents to work for the company. With limited budgets on marketing, you need to think of innovative and effective ways to let customers aware of your products and have confidence in your business.

One major disadvantages with running a small scale business is the limited resources you might have to work with. Another disadvantages is that the profit that comes in is also small.

Limited resources can make it challenging to compete with larger businesses and can hinder growth opportunities. Additionally, smaller profits can make it difficult to reinvest in the business or expand operations.

In addtion to your reasons above. A small-scale business cannot push through if they cannot build customer-based in business. It will be a big challenge if not gaining profit to pay tangible things needed to operate normally.

Growing small scale business is not easy and it does face a lot of competition from big companies and other challenges.
You said it right. It will be a big challenge to have the spot in the market share. They should be more innovative to compete with the other players.

The only disadvantage I can think of is they will face issues if they are to supply a big order which is beyond their capacity so they need to outsource that order or cancel the order

One of the challenges faced by small scale business could include stiff competition from rivals. If you do not have a strong base and good strategy, you could be forced out of the business and market..
