It was approximately 146,000 business startups per year and is the mean value of 12000 enterprises of bankruptcy/year from 1994 to 2004, Canada. 2004, Statistics Canada study of small business failure rates "Key Small Business statistics-January 2005: how long Do Small Businesses Survive?" found that the critical early years. In spite of the fact that almost three quarters of the small business startups to survive the first year, less than one-third of the micro-enterprises (fewer than five employees) enterprises were business after five years.
These statistics may be little value itself to you directly. We know how many small businesses survive and for how long, but it is more important to know why some alive and others do not. There are a lot of studies of small business failure. Search "the reasons for the failure of small enterprises" with Google quotations give almost 700 results (approximately 38 million without!). "Why do small businesses failed" give nearly a thousand.
Statistics Canada, 1997-research ", in the absence of concerns: Business differences in Canada, it was the most important factors for the submission of the administration of the deficiencies, in so far as it was of small enterprises, financial problems, and bad marketing.
The "financial difficulties, Small Businesses and the reasons for their failure" in 1998, it was found that many of the Small Business Administration of the bankruptcy of small business research cause: conditions (outside of the business, finance (38,5%) 28%), business conditions (27.1%), tax (20%), the settlement of disputes (18.8%), personal disasters inside and others (32.9%)
There are plenty of information on this topic, but what are the common factors? There are four basic areas:
External factors
External factors belongs to a new level of competition in the move away from the city, and, on the other hand, bad weather, if you do not, in view of seasonal business or economic downturns significant customer. They are often largely ran out of our control and may be, in particular, the company's unique, but it is often the way to mitigate them. If you have a seasonal business, such as, for example, landscaping (at least up here in the cold north it is seasonal), the company could buy bobcat provide income during his or her own sesonkiajan snow is removed. The line is, is to have a contingency plan to external factors, could have a negative impact on small business success.
The lack of the management of the
Large enterprises have the possibility to hire several people can get all of the jobs which are to be made in a luxury, but the possibilities are you are going to do it all yourself, at least for some time. This means that unless you are going to have to develop a product or service, also you are going to shall be adopted in accordance with the financial, accounting, legal, marketing, human resources and purchasing decisions.
Some of these tasks can do very well, but it is unlikely that all of these tasks will be carried out very well, even if you do, you may want to contact a lawyer and accountant, at least. And research, research and a little more research and when you finish your journey, find an expert or two Bounce ideas off and allow the solid advice.
The lack of planning
Small businesses often fail due to a lack of planning. I would like a bold statement: one of the most vital part of the success of the business is a business plan. Why? Simply put, a business plan expressly and specifically display your goals in the coming years. It shall be determined in accordance with the rest of the process step by step, how you intend to achieve these objectives, and gives you something to measure performance against the company at the end of the period.
Two more small businesses comply with the judgment of the Court finally Finished business plan, why do you think it helps to have access to funding and includes a marketing plan that addresses the marketing and insufficient funding.
I have one more thing, i.e. business plans. It makes very little good to write a business plan, place it in a drawer and never watch it again. That, at the same time, the 1997 Statistics Canada study previously we spoke to noted that the successful small business owners and verifying their business plans that refer to often.
Lack of marketing
Most small businesses seem to think it takes a lot of money on the market of the product or service efficiently. That is simply not true. On the market at great rates in a variety of ways. You can use marketing, which is a stamp or by e-mail marketing, direct mail, which pays Cheap anything. Point is, you must obtain a product or service "out there" somehow. The customer is the best product or service, something completely unique from anything else, but what a good idea to sort by that if nobody knows it?
So there you have it--my thoughts of the principal reasons why small business failed, and how you can avoid becoming a small business in the failure to fulfil obligations-failure to draw up a balance through the development of a contingency plan, after hearing the opinion of the experts and developing and using business and marketing.
If you are thinking of starting a small business, I have tried the most certainly was not such as to discourage you. Sincerely believe that the business itself, as the case may be, is the most rewarding career, but little information to go against the failure of the Research Committee of the small enterprises towards the long way to go.
