Do corporations deserve to exist and why?

28. You realize most mom & pop businesses are corporations? My family business is incorporated

Among other things, it helps protect us in the event someone is hurt on our property.

In return for protection from liability we have to endure yearly fire and health department inspections.

We have to meet codes set for much larger corporations.

So very often, small family businesses are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to meeting governmental requirements.

Installing fire alarms, sprinkler systems etc.

And even after you meet codes this year… they pass new requirements the next year that can be extremely expensive to meet.

We had fire inspector tell us to do XYZ around the furnace… which we did at great expense. And then some years later another fire inspector tells us it was done wrong and we need to ABC. We had to do it regardless of fact we were TOLD how to do it originally.
