Normally there are less employees, and a smaller product volume which allows the business to remain privately owned and operated. Small businesses can be developed with a very low starting cost, and can even be part time, depending on the owner’s involvement. • Self Employed Professionals - earn their living directly from their own trade or business, rather than as an employee of another.
