The company, owned by China-headquartered Bytedance, has been trying to address concerns over whether the Chinese government could access the data of European citizens who use TikTok. Several countries, the European Parliament, European Commission and others have banned TikTok from staff phones due to those concerns. TikTok in March launched a data security regime called Project Clover to build data centres and store European user data locally. The Norwegian data centre will be in the town of Hamar where TikTok will store data spread over three buildings and the first phase will start operating from next summer. The Norway data centre will run completely on renewable energy and generate heat that could be re-used.

“We wanted to be close to my work, and the neighborhood is awesome,” Mr. Dean said. His commute involves riding a ferry from Pier 6, steps from his apartment, for “a couple of minutes” to Lower Manhattan, then walking 15 to 20 minutes. His son plays soccer on Pier 5, and his daughter roller skates on Pier 2, attending P.S. When they met, Ms. Gunton, who works in health care, was living on the Lower East Side; Mr. Gunton, who works at Salesforce, a software company, had been living abroad. They considered staying on the Lower East Side, but wanted “a bit more space and more amenities,” Mr. Gunton said, like an elevator and laundry in the building.

The importance of outlining responsibilitiesWhen it's time for expansion, small businesses often face the challenge of outlining responsibilities with new hires and current staff. "When small businesses scale up, they often face problems in three areas: leadership, talent acquisition, and organizational culture," Szafranek said. How to minimize riskWhile running a business comes with inherent risks, small businesses don't have the same resources as large corporations. Experts also advise small businesses to implement changes slowly, create a well-researched plan, and set up a timetable of what needs to be done successfully at each stage. "The biggest challenge we face in scaling up as a small company is resources," Stewart said.
