DTI research debunks myths about small business (Part 2)

December 24, 2005 By Gordon

In a previous blog entry the newly released research of the Department of Trade and Industry on business myths was discussed. The research, entitled Myths Surrounding Starting and Running a Business, debunked a number of myths about starting and operating a small business. Here are some more myths that the research debunked:

* MYTH: It would take years to start a business from the ground.
* FACT: Most businesses are usually formed within six months.

* MYTH: The rejection for business loan applications is so much higher than it is.
* FACT: Only 10 to 20 per cent of applications are actually rejected.

* MYTH: It is hard to make a living from a start-up.
* FACT: People’s income estimate in their first year of trading is just half of the figure that is really achieved by small businesses.
