It is a common thing that people think that business competition is not something bad. But the truth is that competition can be a good thing, but only if you know how to handle it.

The first barrier of having competitors in business is that it decreases your profits, because when companies compete with each other, they try to lower their prices and increase their production, which means that they will have less profit. If you have only one competitor, then you will have to lower your prices even more than your competitors do and make less profit than them too.

The second barrier of having competitors in business is that it makes you lose customers who used to buy from you before, because when companies compete with each other, they try to lower their prices and increase their production, which means that they will have less profit. So if there are no more customers buying from your company anymore and there's no way for them to find another company who sells what they need at the same price or less, then at least some of those customers will go away forever and never come back again.

Like they say, everything with an advantage also has its disadvantage as well. Having competition in business can be pretty healthy but at the same time, if care is not taken it could lead to the fall of the business. Most of the competition you would come across are does who have no sense of morality, hence they would be willing to do anything to make sure they overshadow your business, this could lead to you falling into pressure and also doing things against your beliefs.
