Typically, small business operators actually operate the business they own or at very least have an intimate knowledge of the operation. Similarly, most small business operators are not often “sophisticated”, in the corporate sense, and their primary skills tend to lie in the field of the service or production sector that the business operates within. For example:
A plumbing contractor is usually a plumber with a trade background, and is not a university trained business management graduate.
A farmer is usually skilled in production of crops or livestock, and is not a tax accountant or industrial relations lawyer.
As a result we see small business severely disadvantaged by government regulation and compliance, which does not differentiate between a large or small employer.
This is the story of General Aviation businesses. These guys get it.
