Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal to the global economy, representing approximately 90% of all businesses and accounting for over 50% of employment worldwide. In emerging economies, formal SMEs contribute as much as 40% of national income (GDP). With the World Bank projecting a need for 600 million jobs by 2030 to support a growing global workforce, the development and sustainability of SMEs are more crucial than ever.

Despite their significance, SMEs face high failure rates. In the United States, about 20% of small businesses fail within their first two years, and around 45% fail within five years, according to sba.gov. The situation is similar in the UK, where 20% of small businesses fail in the first year and 60% within three years. India reports comparable, if not higher, failure rates. Notably, businesses with fewer than ten employees often have lower success rates.

Why Businesses Fail?




Successfully running a business involves mastering various complex aspects, such as customer relations, product development, marketing, branding, competition analysis, logistics, and financial management. It is challenging for one person to excel in all these areas simultaneously. Take our Panorama Assessment Tool (PAT) to evaluate your proficiency in these domains.

Entrepreneurs often possess unique qualities such as vision, high-risk tolerance, and a passion for problem-solving. Many believe they can manage every aspect of their business single-handedly. While this might be possible, it often demands substantial time and resources.
