1. Small businesses under a certain size avoid many labor/work related laws - for example, the requirement to buy healthcare doesn't apply below 20(?) employees.
2. Small businesses almost always have actually worse support overall, but they get away with it because they can "fire" customers. Walmart has a better return policy than almost anything else in the retail world, for example, because they can eat the costs related to idiots scamming them.
3. Small businesses often get away with treating their employees worse than larger ones, because nobody is going to care of Jane's Coffee Shop stiffed a waitress on tips on Wednesday, but if it happened at a Starbucks it'd be on the national news that night.
4. Small businesses enable people and families to be relatively independent of "large control" which is absolutely not desired by certain groups.
