Don't just dream of success.
Plan for it.

In 2020, Ideation to Valuation, launched a new kind of business growth and development program. This program specifically addresses the needs of business owners looking to grow, faster. 

THE CHALLENGE

The four most common reasons why small businesses fail.

  1. A lack of sufficient capital.
  2. Poor management.
  3. Inadequate business planning.
  4. Overblowing their marketing budgets.
*According to Investopedia

The reason why those businesses failed.

  1. 42% of small businesses fail because there is no market need for their services or products.
  2. 19% were outcompeted.
  3. 17% failed because they lacked a business model.
*According to their founders as surveyed by CBInsights

  1. 20% fail in their first year in business.
  2. 50% of small businesses fail in their fifth year in business.
