Research Topic Suggestions
I have been a small business owner for the last 7-8 years 


Have you run into issues/problems in those 7-8 years? Are those problems specific to your own business? Could other business owners have the same or similar problems?

Can you generalize those problems so that you can conduct research on possible solutions to those problems in academic approach?

Can you find the causes of those problems from academic perspective? How would you propose to do so? Should the government play a role or not? How could the society as a whole participate? Etc. Etc. There are hundreds of topics out there. Take your pick. Good luck!
