How many businesses have you started?

At this moment in time I have been directly involved in the creation of three businesses which are all operating even years after I left them. I set up my own business which I continue to this day and it is good to watch the other two businesses thriving. So, how many businesses have you started?

I have been involved in a number of businesses in the past but I am seriously contemplating a new start-up today. My way of thinking is simple, by the time I get the business up and running the UK economy should be open for business again and I should be far financially stronger than any of my competitors. As a consequence, surely I should be able to steamroller many of them and take a decent market share?

I totally agree, if you have sufficient funding to see you through the aftermath of the pandemic then even a new start-up could be hugely successful. Personally, I think that customers will be looking for financial strength in businesses going forward which is where many will struggle. If you were fully funded and able to show your financial flexibility, yes, you could mop up and do very well indeed.

Is it web design that you focus on or are you open to other suggestions? I am a content writer if you were interested in working together.

What made you start 2 very different businesses? Was it just right time right place?

I have been involved in a couple of businesses with different friends. There were very different types of businesses and while they are both still on the go I am no longer involved. That was basically because I moved from England to Scotland.
