Owning your own business can be a richly rewarding experience, but the prospect is also rife with disadvantages that everyone interested in becoming their own boss should carefully consider.
Advantages
- Freedom to set your own schedule.
- Unlimited moneymaking potential.
- You can choose who you want to work with. This is a luxury that’s seldom awarded to those working for others.
Disadvantages
- Lack of security. These days, having a corporate job is no guarantee that you won’t find yourself unemployed, but business owners have to constantly work to ensure their longevity.
- The buck stops with you. If something goes wrong, you’re fully responsible for making it right.
- Higher premiums for private health benefits.
