Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship has long been considered risky, although that perception is slowly changing, thanks to the number of successful online businesses. Still, it takes considerable money, time, and effort to open a business and to keep it going long enough to start seeing profits. Success also depends on trends, customer demand, political climate, competition, the economy, and other unpredictable social factors. The longer a company remains in business, the more likely it is to succeed. However, companies can still go out of business up to 15 years after launching.
