Abstract
This paper aims to identify the causes of small business bankruptcy and compare them to large business bankruptcy. The information gathered was taken from previous studies on bankruptcy and then used to compare the different reasons why small businesses and large businesses file for bankruptcy each year. While researching I found no articles comparing small and large so this study will help incorporate the small business factors and large business factors all into one. This study was conducted to help small and large businesses decrease the likelihood of bankruptcy each year. One of the main reasons behind why these businesses file for bankruptcy is due to a lack of knowledge and with this paper, the owners of these businesses can learn and not make the same mistakes others have previously made.
