STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS AFTER 50

Starting something of your own after 50 is a very different proposition from doing it at 25. You have more experience, more contacts and usually less appetite for risk, and the business you build should reflect all three. This guide walks through the practical mechanics of building a business that can run without you selling every hour of your own time, from testing whether the idea has real demand through to funding it sensibly, choosing a structure, pricing properly and finding customers.

  • Testing whether the idea has genuine demand before you spend money
  • Funding the start-up honestly, without risking your retirement
  • Choosing a business structure and getting the paperwork right
  • Pricing so the business pays you properly from the start
  • Marketing and finding customers without a large budget
