7. Benefits of legalizing the business

a. On the business itself

A legalized business protects your standing as a trustworthy company.
It enables the marketing of the business anywhere.

b. On the part of the owner

It helps the owner avoid legal problems with the government and opens
chances to conduct business with large corporations. It also gives personal satisfaction and
growth.

c. On the part of the customers

It develops trust between employees, customers, and suppliers.

8. What are the struggles in relation to competition and political pressure?

houses. The prices of their products are a lot cheaper than the other stores if not almost at
par with the prices of their competitors.

9. What advice can you give to those who are planning to put up their own business?
