One of the main failures of small businesses can often be traced to the inability or unwillingness of business owners to separate their business income from their personal income. As a result, the household is often subsidised in its expenses at the cost of the business.
Often this does not happen deliberately, but rather unconsciously. People see stock within a business and assume that it is the owners', instead of seeing it as “belonging” to the business.
