Going Broke Successfully

EVERY ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS TO KNOW THIS. Entrepreneurs are eternally optimistic, but 60% of businesses will go bust in their first 3 years. Even if you do not go broke, you will likely experience an element of financial hardship at some point on your journey. Extra liquidity in the markets will cause more businesses than ever to experience real financial hardship in the next 12-24 months as they have to repay bounce-back loans and CBILS.
