A small business can still be exploiting workers with abusive labour and business practices.
If your business model relies on working your employees to death while paying close to nothing then, regardless it's a golden goose or a money pit, then you have no right to complain that you're being held accountable for exploiting and abusing workers. Moreso, you have absolutely no right to complain that the job market rejects your exploitation.
