Should business owners be the only ones to bear risks?

[Treborika]

Of course the owner of the business must bear the risks.
Even in economics we learnt that an entrepreneur must be a risk taker. In fact that is the main trait of an entrepreneur.
However employees need to bear the risks of loosing a job

I see no reason why the business owner would want to share the loss from his business with the employees because if he makes humongous profit, he would never share with the employees.

Of course that is not possible. Business owners are responsible for anything that happens to their businesses whether it is moving forward or backwards. This is why they should employ a competent people.

Business owners must be responsible for everything that results from managing the business. This includes all the profits as well as the losses that occur during this period.

Probably, anybody who is not ready to bear the risks in any business venture should not expect to make profit. Business comes with ups and downs and this is one thing that business people must understand very well.

Business owners are the ones who are receiving the money and as such they are going to be wearing some kind of risk. This is because the customers are also risking their money in order to purchase a good.

 

[Syldan]

Well business owners should not be the only ones to bear the risk because the cost of production these days is very high and if the will bear the risk alone, the business will collapse.

 

[Bookwormlux1]

Business owners are usually not the only ones who are expected to take risks,but they have to take full responsibility for everything that happens, because they get to bear the cost of everything.

 

[Syldan]

Actually not because if the business owner are the only ones to bear the risk in there business then definitely there shall come a time where the business can collapse because there will be no more fund to finance the business.

If as a business owner , you are making and spending the profit alone as a sole proprietorship, then you should be the only one to handle all the loss in a business .

If as a business owner , you are making and spending the profit alone as a sole proprietorship, then you should be the only one to handle all the loss in a business .

In a sole proprietorship, it is the entrepreneur or business owner to solely bears the risks as well as the profit. In other forms of business ownership, the risks may be shared across the shareholders.

 

[joy101]

A business owner is one who establish a business and he is the one to bear all the risk except he is willing to share their business with people who are interested to invest. With this way , risk can be shared across different stakeholders.

Yes as a business owner is the only one that can bear risk because is the one that open the business, because he knows that business is all about taking a risk so he is the only one who supposed to take the risk.

 

[Syldan]

I will suggest all those that are involved both the producer and the consumers that are involved the production and consumption should bear the risk because the burden may be too much to bear and continue producing.

 

[Sincerem]

Risk is mainly for people that understand and establish what they belief on. As a business owner you are the one to manage the affairs of your business both the risk and the joy the business will bring. You cannot handle the risks of your business to someone that have not contributed in any way into the business.

If a businessman is entitled to getting all the financial profits of the business, then it is only normal that they also bear the risks that are associated with the business as well.

If a businessman is entitled to getting all the financial profits of the business, then it is only normal that they also bear the risks that are associated with the business as well.

That is one of the characteristics of establishing a personal business excepts in a situation of partnership business , in this case the risks of the business will be shared among partners. In situations like this the higher the partners, the lesser the risk for a single individual.

 

[Chibson]

If as a business owner , you are making and spending the profit alone as a sole proprietorship, then you should be the only one to handle all the loss in a business .

I don't even think it is reasonable for a sole proprietor to spend all his profit Instead, he should spend some certain percentage on himself and a reasonable percentage in expanding the business.

 

[Robust]

Well to me the business owner and his workers are the only one that beer much risk in business than any other person, because if the business owner gain well, he will pay his workers well and vice versa.

 

[Sotherefore]

Yes as a business owner is the only one that can bear risk because is the one that open the business, because he knows that business is all about taking a risk so he is the only one who supposed to take the risk.

Well, it is the best thing for business owners to take risks and I don't see anything wrong with that because if a business owner takes the risks and succeed he will be the one to enjoy the success of the business alone.

 

[Immilash1]

Yeah of course, that's why I'm always like to say this,as a business owner before you employ workers (employees) you need to think 360 degree before employing them, not doing that will lead to loses in the business.
