Advice and Planning of Setting up your
Structure for the Silverpreneurs
//Set up your own Business Entrepreneur Business Developement Academy
Turning 50 isn’t the end of a business career – it’s the beginning. And an ever-growing wave of ‘olderpreneurs’, starting a business have 70% chance of surviving their first five years compared with only a 28% survival rate for those younger than them. Nearly half the self-employment population is over 50, and one in six new businesses started in the UK are set up by post-half-centurions. Evidence also shows that this growing group is serious about short relevant structured courses.
