The 9 most common reasons for a new business to fail are:

 

  • Entrepreneurs sometimes lack the financial or operational expertise to make their idea work

 

  • Lack of proper planning

 

  • Inadequate funding – if you do not have adequate working capital and a strong balance sheet you are unlikely to succeed

 

  • Expanding too quickly – this can lead to a negative effect on your working capital - you may run out of cash

 

  • Lack of proper and timely information – smaller businesses often lack the systems and data-building capabilities - you need to know what's happening

 

  • Failure to respond quickly to changes in market conditions – businesses that respond quickly often succeed and can exploit opportunities that arise

 

  • Entrepreneurs often try to do everything themselves – the successful business owners realise that they need expert skills to match and complement their own skills

 

  • Seasonal or inconsistent sales – lumpy cash flow can be problematic

 

  • Underestimating the administrative and compliance requirements
