    That’s just it, you don’t need to grow. Just sell a useful product at a reasonable price.

      In capitalism, the consumer isn’t the target audience. A business exists to make money. The more money you make, the more shareholders you gain, the more the shareholders demand BLOOD!

            You don’t need to take your company public, you know?
            You can just stay its sole owner, then no one can force you to do anything with it (except for a judge).

                Any country which has the concept of private property, and a relatively robust political and legal system.

                  We recently had to get rid of a vendor at work because the private company was bought out by a foreign power. Can’t say more than that. Kinda sucks as now we have to replace some of the infa.
