There is no denying the fact that local

businesses

are becoming more popular nowadays.

it is commonly believed that the closure of startups and small

businesses

will break down local communities, some argue against

this

view. In

this

essay, I will

further

elaborate on my view about local business competition.

businesses

,

in particular

, require time and often lack the capital to sustain themselves, especially when competing with international companies in the same domain.

, a small supermarket located near a mega supermarket like Carrefour cannot continue because the mega supermarket can sell at lower prices

due to

bulk purchasing, which allows them to receive larger discounts than small

businesses

businesses

.

, most employees in small

businesses

are from the local area, and their closure reduces the money flow within those communities. These factors contribute to increasing unemployment and

crime.

According to

a report released in 2022 by the Pew Research Center, 75% of crime is attributed to unemployment. In conclusion, many small companies are unable to compete. I firmly believe that the government should support

this

type of small business to sustain local communities.
