When considering founding a startup in Australia, it pays to be persistent. Many people find the journey to success isolating and challenging, particularly at first. However, there is a wide range of support available, from incubator and mentor programs to online resources. Many entrepreneurs are from outside the country, and increasing number are women, though men — especially those 35 to 40 years of age — continue to drive the majority of startups. The early days of a startup can be difficult, as a recent survey showed that 4 in 10 companies had no revenue in their first year. But those who are prepared and are willing to make sacrifices can be successful.
Key Takeaways:
- Today’s entrepreneur has access to a variety of help and support that didn’t used to be so readily available.
- Women are less than a third as likely as men to launch a startup business, even though female founders are starting to be more common.
- The common causes for problems with founding or sustaining a new business include regular cash flow, demands on income, lack of skills, and low confidence.
