The rise of Solopreneurs

More people than ever are choosing to work for themselves, running businesses as solopreneurs. With digital tools and online platforms, individuals can manage everything from marketing to finance without needing large teams or major investments. The rise of remote work and the gig economy has made this model even more appealing.

Platforms like Shopify, Upwork, and Substack allow people to turn their skills into profitable ventures. However, solopreneurs face challenges such as financial instability, scaling their businesses, and maintaining work-life balance. Governments and financial institutions should recognise this growing sector and offer better support, from funding opportunities to business resources. Encouraging solopreneurs can drive innovation and economic growth, making it a trend worth investing in.
