Reasons for Starting a Business

People start their own small businesses for various reasons, including earning extra money from a side hustle, wanting to be their own boss, seeking more flexibility, pursuing a hobby, spotting a gap in the market, or due to job loss. The appeal of flexibility, especially for individuals with family commitments, is a significant motivator for starting a business.
