It can be difficult to succeed with a new business startup, and in Tasmania, it can be an additional challenge. Our previous recorded statistics for 2014-2015 shows there was a dip in the number of new businesses that opened in Tasmania, which was also echoed in South Australia and Queensland. Part of this was due to the decrease in agricultural ventures, which have fallen by ten percent since 2011.
Finance and trusts have continued to grow, with companies and trusts filling up about sixty percent of all businesses in the state. Unfortunately, small businesses have continued to decline. Construction holds higher numbers, while health care and social assistance are businesses that seem to weather the storm best, with about 75% of business survival when recorded over a four year length of time.
In the statics from 2014-2015, Tasmania had a small share of new business startups of only three percent. Of this three percent, there’s only a 30 percent chance that these businesses will still be in healthy operation three years from now.
There will be about 35% of other businesses in Tasmania that will be struggling, or of uncertain status. The remainder of the businesses that had begun three years earlier will have been terminated.
Not only are new business startup stats shocking, but one must take into consideration that further chances decrease if your new business isn’t in one of the businesses that enjoys a higher rate of success, such as in construction, healthcare, or social service.
In order to project the success of your new business it’s essential to budget accurately. While a loan or a deposit may have eased some of the financial blow, over time, a loan must eventually be repaid, and that business must be profitable. The savvy entrepreneur will accurately budget for an entire business operation, from building lease, to products and supplies, insurance, and staffing solutions.
The trick is to lower costs, and keep them lowered over time, while allowing revenues a chance to catch up and keep pace with expenses. While many businesses realise that staff and employees are important, others may do cutbacks, which increases the burden on the company, and can actually lose customers over time as there is no one there to support them.
As an entrepreneur—a small business owner who is taking a big financial risk—it’s important to do your research on small business success statistics in Tasmania first.
