I say business is risky and the things that get you may surprise you…

Because these business owners and their stories will likely never be part of any Ted talk.

They’re comments about what can really happen in the world of small business.

But you can’t often hear them, because they’re whispers usually.

Will higher interest rates lead to financial ruin for business buyers?
