### Lack of an online presence.
Every age comes with its own level of technological advancement and added advantage, this generation is moving towards an online presence and not getting into the moving train will result in frustration in business. The failure of most small business is because they failed to give their business an online presence which is very important for a business that wants to survive in this current age and time.

### Poor customer satisfaction.
Satisfying customers is a strong game changer for every business, a business that believes in attending to customers poorly will fail in no time and because some small business owners are not finding the business world funny they decide to transfer the aggression to their customers who take that as an offence and never look back.

Customer satisfaction needs to be taken with adequate relevance and must not be played with at all for very business that is concerned with running for a long term. Some business owners also get so proud with their achievement and they begin to treat their customers irrelevantly forgetting the fact that their business is growing only because their customers keep coming back.

### Lack of a business plan.
Most small businesses also do not understand the need to have good plans, having a suitable plan for a small business fosters growth but most small businesses operates for the basis of sustaining themselves alone and that is one reason why they fail completely, without a plan in place for a business it is certain that it will fail totally.

### Lack of financial plan.
Most small businesses just earn and use it for personal needs all the time without setting anything aside for business development, a business that has no back up fund or method for growth will definitely not survive for a long time.

### Entering into an already tight market.
Most small businesses do not think out of the box they are only ready to compete in already existing market because it appears desirable only to get in and realize it is not really convenient. A unique business will stand the test of time and produce a better result eventually.

The leadership of a business is highly necessary to survive the harsh phase of a small business, as a small business owner are you ready to make the required sacrifice to move your business to the top? In order for a small business to survive, it requires someone with a strong leadership skill to carry on the race.
