Sole trader
I am self-employed. I set up my company over 25 years ago. I started small and I’ve stayed small. But I’ve kept my prices low, and I’ve kept my customers happy. I got lots of repeat business. I’ve done pretty well.
I haven’t had many overheads. I don’t need an office, just my car and a mobile phone.
I’ve got no employees. I work alone. No meetings, no problems. Holidays? No, no holidays. I have to keep working. Who’s going to run the business while I am away?
Dot.com companies
A dot.com company can be started with very little money. You don’t need much capital- just a computer, an internet connection…. And a good idea. On the Net, nobody knows how big your company is.
All trading carries some risk. But e-commerce –doing business in the Net –is especially risky. Everything is new—the technology, the customers, the business model. The new dot.com entrepreneurs , mostly in their twenties, are ready, starting these risks. For them, trading online is the future and it’s fun.
Supermarket
A: I see that you re opening a new supermarket next month
B: Yes.
A: Good news for shoppers.
B: But bad news for us. We can’t compete with a supermarket. We’re just too small. Half the retailers in town will be bankrupt by the end of the year.
A: You’re exaggerating. I don’t think many of us will go out of business.
B: Why not?
A: Because our customers prefer us, It’s not low prices the6y want, it’s high-quality personal service.
