A 2013 research paper from the now defunct Department for Business Innovation and Skills identified reasons why small businesses – those employing between 0 and 9 staff – didn’t want to grow much bigger, if at all.
Here are two that struck me:
“I’d lose too much control of the business.”
“I’d have to spend too much time managing other people.”
These can be solved quite simply, but not easily:

Let people manage themselves.
That way you get the best of both worlds.
