5 Reasons Most Small Businesses Fail (And How to Avoid Them with the Right Partners)

Starting a Business is Exciting — But Risky

Every year, thousands of small businesses launch with big dreams—but nearly half of them won’t make it past year five. The good news? Most failures are preventable with the right support and strategy.

At Lothar Business Solutions, we help entrepreneurs build strong foundations, go digital, and grow with clarity. Let’s explore the top reasons businesses fail—and how to overcome them.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟭 – 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆
A great idea isn’t enough. Without a clear business plan, financial structure, or growth roadmap, even passionate entrepreneurs can burn out.

✅ Solution:
Work with our LBS Consulting team to build a strong business model, incorporate your company correctly, and create a realistic growth strategy.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟮 – W𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Today’s customers find businesses online first. If you don’t have a website, strong SEO, or social media presence, you’re invisible to your market.

✅ Solution:
Our LBS Media division builds your digital presence with a professional website, optimized content, ads, and social engagement that converts visitors into clients.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟯 – 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴
If your logo, materials, and messaging don’t align, your brand feels unprofessional and forgettable. This leads to lost trust—and lost sales.

✅ Solution:
Our LBS Print & Branding team helps you create a consistent and memorable brand across print, apparel, signage, and more. Look the part, and clients will trust you more.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟰 – 𝗧𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗼 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲
Many entrepreneurs burn out trying to do marketing, finance, sales, and operations by themselves. This slows growth and creates avoidable mistakes.

✅ Solution:
You don’t need to do it all. Partnering with LBS means you have experts in each area—so you can focus on what you do best.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟱 – 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲
Markets shift. Technology evolves. Businesses that don’t keep up lose relevance and market share.

✅ Solution:
We stay ahead of trends and help you adjust with updated branding, online strategies, and business advice tailored to Canadian market changes.

Don’t become another statistic. Build your business with a team that’s helped dozens of Canadian entrepreneurs succeed.
