Ventas Central Asks Are Londoners Really so Entrepreneurial?

    LONDON, ENGLAND, October 31, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The UK's capital has long been known as a leading force in start-up activity and has over the years played host to a wide array of exciting and progressive business ventures. This in part, has been supported by London's investment in new business. The city is home to a large percentage of the UK's start up hubs and accelerators, which offer guidance and mentorship to the city's entrepreneurial rising stars. However, whilst London may top the charts when it comes to the volume of new businesses that are launched in the region, this accolade may not be as prominent or significant as it appears. It's estimated that half of UK start-ups fail within their first five years, with the majority even failing to make it past the one-year mark. With this in mind London's ability to produce a large quantity of start-ups seems less impressive and may not be an accurate representation of the state of entrepreneurship in the capital. Instead, the focus should be shifted to whether the city is doing enough to support the survival of these new businesses and help them achieve longevity.
