Starting New Ventures

The statistics for new business survival rates are more encouraging than you might think. According to the Small Business Association, two-thirds of new businesses survive two years and 44% of new businesses survive four years. There’s a 50-50 chance that a new business will survive five years.

According to the website www.businessknowhow.com, in order to succeed a business owner must have a passion for the business, fulfill a need in the marketplace, have sufficient health and stamina, possess drive, determination, patience, persistence, positive attitude, resiliency, independence, and a flexible personality. Also according to www.businessknowhow.com, the reasons businesses fail are poor management, insufficient capital, poor location, lack of planning, over-expansion, and lack of a website.
