Today on StartupSmart, we assess the impact of business failure; a scary but very real prospect for start-ups.
Recent figures released by credit reporting agency Dun & Bradstreet show the number of businesses that fail remains at historically high levels.
But is a business failure really such a bad thing? Today’s feature includes interviews with businesspeople who walked away from a venture before going on to bigger and better things.
Meanwhile, mentor Tom O’Toole has some ideas for passing on cost pressures to customers without driving them away, while Taskmaster tells you why you should be making lists of cool entrepreneurs.
