How Long Does it Take to Start a Business?

Have you heard the one that says:

‘it takes 2 years to get a business going’?

How about:

‘year 3 is when you can expect to make some money’?

Maybe you’ve seen friends starting businesses and have heard all about the hard work or you’ve seen the long hours and no money.

Well, it doesn’t have to be that way!

From start-up to established business doesn’t have to be 2 years or 3 years – there are ways of getting from start-up to established faster than you might think. One way is to take advice from someone who has built a business in the same industry as you – that will help you avoid mistakes and the knowledge can provide valuable short cuts. The difficult might be finding something similar.

One place to research is in the franchise market – you might not want a franchise, but there’s a wealth of information available from them.

Another way is to spend time talking to other people in the same industry. There’s often an impression that business people are ruthlessly trying to steal business from each other and keep out the competition. The reality for many businesses these days is an acknowledgement that the market is big enough for everyone and partnerships and collaboration happens a lot more than many people think.
