Many merchants remained loyal to Great Britain primarily because they had ties to Britain's businesses and resources. This connection provided them with economic benefits and stability that they were hesitant to jeopardize through rebellion or support for independence. Additionally, there were fears that patriots would impose taxes on their goods, which also contributed to their loyalty to the crown.
