Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship covers the decision to start a company and the real cost of it: capital needed before revenue, legal structure, licensing, the first customers, and the months a founder goes without pay. Profiles include businesses that closed. Written for people considering the jump and those in the first two years.

Entrepreneurship coverage from Business News 7.
