Hot House Company Definition

Definition: A business or organization that relies heavily on external support, subsidies, or favorable conditions to maintain its operations and profitability. Similar to a delicate hot house flower, a hot house company struggles to survive without continuous assistance, protection, or special treatment.

Use It In a Sentence: That hot house company would crumble in an instant if it weren’t for government bailouts and preferential treatment, as it lacks the resilience and adaptability to sustain itself in a competitive market.
