Of course yes. lt can ditch the business into bankruptcy due to the lack of supplies in case the supplier fails to supply.

It depends on the kind of business being launched and operated. If they need to outsource, then it is best to have suppliers to continue their operation and sustain their profit.

There is nothing like consistency in having just a single supplier for your business. It is a recipe for disappointment and you would be heavily disappointed.

If you are getting better deals, there is nothing wrong, however, to be on a safe side, you should also have second supplier

Nothing is wrong in having a supplier but you know we always have to he proactive. you don't have to depend on a supplier to avoid disappointments

I think it is okay to work with one single supplier if it is reliable. That said, on the safe side, you should always check for alternatives should anything go wrong with your regular supplier.

I feel this is wrong because one supplier for your business may not make you have all the goods. There are some times when the person may not have some particular goods and you’d need to get from another supplier

in my business I have multiple suppliers and each of them have their advantages, there are some I go to when I need ASAP supplies, there are the ones who can get me affordables, so it's never a bad idea to have more than one supplier for a particular commodity.

For me if the supplier doesn't have the business products, the business can remain unattended.

Having one supplier is surely going to disappoint you so it is always better to make sure that you have more than one supplier so that you can always have where to fall back to if one disappoints you

It is totally okay to depend on a single dependable supplier. Nevertheless, it is essential to be prepared for any unforeseen issues and have a backup supplier in mind.

You are right. We need other options if the loyal supplier cannot provide their products. Sometimes it does happen in the real world.

Everything in life has a backup. And businesses must have backup suppliers because there is nothing that is guaranteed.
