Start up Success

Why do so many new businesses fail, and what can you do to avoid the pitfalls

660,000 new companies are registered in the UK every year. That’s equal to 70 new businesses being formed every hour.

Britain is a booming nation of start-ups, but sadly, it’s a fact that 60 per cent of those new businesses will go-under within three years, and 20 per cent will close their doors within just 12 months.

The entrepreneurial spirit is a cause for celebration, and we encourage helping people to design and create their own pathway. But glamorising entrepreneurial success is not helpful for struggling entrepreneurs who are often written-off, and business failure is usually accompanied by stress, debt and humiliation, which can sap future ambition.

Join Philippa Constable, Owner of two successful South West based networking organisations Women Mean Biz and We Mean Biz for this seminar and explore the most common mistakes that new entrepreneurs and start-ups make. Hindsight is a great thing, and with the benefit of hearing from someone who has experienced the highs and lows, as well as witnessed her own father losing everything he ever worked for, Philippa will share her insights into the pitfalls of starting your own business, and what you can do to avoid them!
