Uncertain income
Unlike employees entrepreneurs don't have a permanent monthly income there earnings fluctuate based on their success
Which can lead to financial unstability
Financial risk
Starting a business requires a financial investment. Entrepreneurs may face challenges securing funds and there is a risk of losing it if the business falls
Hence they will be more in debt
