    I had business managment class and from what I remember its close to 75%. Not sure if thats excact as it was a couple of years ago, but the percent is high. If you plan on starting a business, I would do it while you are young and dont have anybody to support. If you go brankrupt and lose everything, yeah that would suck, but you can simply move on. If you were to have kids and a wife, then go bankrupt and lose everything, you would be totally screwed.

    The statistics I have read are : 90% of all business will fail within the first 5 years.

    Then in the next five years 90% of that little 10% success rate will fail.

    So if last 5 years consider yourself fortunate… If you last the second 5 years then you are obviously doing something RIGHT !!
