Entrepreneurs who ceased to conduct business named resons such as lack of funding (20% of respondents) and a possibility to resume a paid job (17%). One in ten named both the professional team and the attraction of strong business partners as keys to successful business performance. Over 90% of entrepreneurs mentioned that they would gladly resume their business, naming financial security (31%) and a competent team from the very beginning (26%) as the main motivators for resuming business.
Currently, business is the main source of income for over a half or 59% of surveyed Nordea Business School graduates.
