So many things in the world of small business have nothing to with staying small.

There are always more products to sell.

There are always more customers to acquire.

There is always more money to make!

It’s all part of the master scheme to ensure that your small business idea can go the distance.

But it can be all too easy to forget that big business can sometimes mean a lot more than big success.

It can also mean big inventory.

Which means big overhead.

Which means big accounting.

Which, especially at tax time, can mean big headaches.

Just 20 years ago, Apple was not so small, but now struggles with issues of bigness. Even the current darling of the tech world, Google, isn’t immune.

And, of course, who wants to trade places with General Motors or Ford at present, right?

Still, we all know big risks can result in big payoffs.

But if your small business is doing quite alright thank you very much - you’re keeping your customers, you’re keeping the lights on, you’re keeping your sanity! - then maybe getting unsmall isn’t where you need to be.

Just because you start small, doesn’t mean you have to go big.

In fact, staying small can sometimes be one of the best ways to feel like you’ve hit the big time.
