1. “Solo business” – From global trend to survival choice

In the US, statistics show that more than 51 million people are running a one-person business model. In Vietnam, this number is also increasing rapidly, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are starting to realize that they can start a business without a team or a large amount of capital. Reasons why this type of business is popular:

• Initiative in time, work and income
• Ability to control all business activities
• Freedom to choose a job that suits personal values
• Can start right away with just one clear professional skill

The solo business model is no longer an experimental movement, but has become a survival solution for many people in the context of economic fluctuations. Constantly changing technology and the increasing need for independent living are the main reasons for this change.
