Over 85% of companies worldwide won't survive up to 10 years.
In the USA alone, over 700,000 companies shut down every year. In 2019, prior to the pandemic, 928,000 out of the 1.04 million newly established companies shut down (U.S. Small Business Administration, 2021).
Evidently, the business shutdown rate is staggeringly high.
This is why Paul co-founded roiquant (rói - kwänt) to help founders reduce risk of business failure.
In helping founders build strong competitive business with high ROI (return on investment), roiquant empowers founders to analyze the capital markets, competitive landscape, companies performance, business strategies, risk factors, and more, for actionable insights.
If failure is referred as failing to see the projected return on investment, then the failure rate is 70% to 80%. However, if failure is defined as declaring a projection and then falling short of meeting it, then the failure rate is a whopping 90% to 95%.
Most business studies and entrepreneurial research seem to have a natural tendency to focus on success stories (Madsen & Desai, 2010), and less on failure stories which may result in a survivorship bias that can lead to over-stating or understating the predictability of events (Brown et. al., 1992).
Based on the data gathered by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), researcher Moya K. Mason (2012) estimated that nearly 100 million new businesses are created each year worldwide. However, about 30 to 50 million companies stand a chance to survive within 1 to 5 years of operation.
