What are the things that are being done (or not done) that make so-called small businesses unable to operate successfully?

Have you ever tried to open one? Have you ever tried to pay taxes for one, have you ever tried to pay for medical care for employees or yourself while operating your own business? Have you ever tried to acquire a business license? Have you ever tried to install a commercial kitchen in a building, or get "occupancy" in said building for one of many other different reasons? Have you ever tried to get liability insurance for a business?
I'm not talking about so-called small business I am talking about actually small business started by people who actually need a business to make money, not people coming to the table with a half a million dollars from their uncle to blow getting the business up and running.
If you have 500,000 dollars you can start most businesses no problem.
Sorry for answering indirectly. The best way to understand the difficulty is to imagine a business you would like to operate or just theoretically think might be OK and work through the steps and challenges some of which I've listed above and see if it makes sense to start that business anymore or if you're maybe better off taking a job at starbucks.
