Question

Are small businesses going to be a thing of the past, with global multistores taking over?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

No. In fact, I have read many research results, small businesses have proven that they are the ones who actually the 'bullet-proof' business. When crisis attack, especially in macro condition, they definitely will survive. They don't need to think how to fire hundreds or even thousand of workers, huge amount of debts, etc. Therefore most of commercial banks now have their focus more to help small business through micro credit division or things like that.

Answer 3

As long as there are people who desire to work for themselves, small businesses will never fade away.  This country was founded on small businesses...  Do you think any of these big named stores founders thought they would be this big when they started?  Of course not!  If you are asking this because you are thinking of starting a business, check out the link below!

Answer 4

No, I think there is always a need for small businesses. Its like with restaurants a mom and pop restaurant is much better then an franchise. Not a long line or a crowd. And very good service.
