Checkmating Business Failure

"It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." - Bill Gates

According to the American Small Business Administration (SBA) research, only half of new small businesses survive for the first five years and only one-third of new businesses are able to survive for 10 years.

Bloomberg research finding is scarier, eight out of every ten entrepreneurs fail within 18 months of startup, representing a whopping 80%.

The worst part of a failing business is that the entrepreneur might not even be aware, until it's often too late. It is therefore very critical to identify the symptoms of a failing business early enough, to save it from eventual collapse.
