Fatores de mortalidade de micro e pequenas empresas

Abstract

The strong presence of entrepreneurship in Brazil leads to a constant growth in the number of new businesses every year, notably the smaller ones. Despite this, those small businesses faces the greatest rates of mortality in our country, especially in their early years, hence this problem remains a challenge to be overcome. Accordingly, it justifies studies about the factors which lead to the end of activities of MSBs (micro and small businesses). The present paper consists of a research, in a bibliographic nature, of the main factors which can be responsible for the mortality of MSBs in Brazil. The most recurring factors in the survey that stand out as the main reasons for entrepreneurship failure are: the lack of planning before and after the start of the business, the lack of working capital, the lack of qualification of the entrepreneur, and the low rate of search for technical guidance.
