'Small Business | Man Has Many Analysts Now By SAM DAWSON t NEW YORK (-- The small busi- | nessman has his troubles—and. a number of people are busy today j analyzing them. He has special problems, it, |seems, whether times are bad or | booming, whether he’s working on | a shoestring or going like a house | afire. If his competitors aren’t aft- | er him, the tax. man is. | In a general business slump, | the small business with a short- age of liquid assets may have a harder fime surviving than the’ big corporation. Even when times | are good the chances of -business |failure most often dog the smaller | firm’s door. | In its review of the causes of | 7,611 business failures in 1952, ' Dun’s review finds 82 per cent} came from incompetence or lack | lof experience in handling sales, receivables, inventories or compe- tition. Failures with liabilities un-j der $25,000 are more than double those in the upper brackets. Even in boom times, the small businessman has more trouble | managing his plant, getting and!/ keeping good help, and raising | working capital—according to the | American Institute of Manage-| ment. i And if he succeeds and starts | making real money—the National | Association of Manufacturers re- | ports today—the small business- | man is the more likely to run into the clutches of the tax col- lector. Excess profit taxes are paid by many more small businessmen than large, NAM says. | A survey of 4,000 manufacturing |companies, NAM says, shows 2,639 subject to the tax. Almost 80 per | cent fall into the government's of- | |ficial definition of a small busi- | ness as one employing 500 or fewer | persons. The tax is based on average earnings for the three best years of 1946 through 1949. Five-sixths of this amount is considered normal and taxed the regular 52 per cent rate. All above this normal amount is called excess profit and taxed at 82 per cent—but with an over- all limit on total taxes of 70 per cent of earnings. . | NAM says its survey shows that | 43 per cent of the companies pay- ing the tax hire between 100 and 500 persons, and 36 per cent hire less than 100. NAM says this is/ because smaller companies going through a period of normal growth | naturally show larger earnings now than in the 1946-49 period. *good executives and workers | are often harder ta find and. te Good execittives. and workers are often harder to find and to hold in the face of competition from big companies, the study points out. The small business could copy some present big business prac- tices with profit, the Institute con- tends. Many small firms fail to grow because they, don’t study these methods and adapt them to their own needs—such business aids as research and product de-! velopment, cost accounting, depre- | ciation and equipment policies and | corporate structure, »But the study notes that.in spite jof this, the mere fact of survival of so many small firms is evi-| dence of outstanding business apti- | tude on the part of the owners.
