- Insufficient initial capital for start-up period and development stages due to inadequate planning Most of the time a small business fails even before the actual operational stage because of lack of funds, this happens because of the lack of plans and the inability to execute the plans within the schedule and within the parameters. Sometimes budget scheduling is overlooked during the planning stage.

- Mistaken estimate of market demand for product or service.

Some people easily fall victim to get rich quick schemes that they over estimate the marketability of a product or a service. Be sure that you do your homework before getting into anything.

- Failures to select and use appropriate outside professional advisors. Sometimes even small businesses need professional help, seeking the advice of an expert will have long term effects on your business.

- Inability to market product or services effectively. Introducing your product or service to the public is a must for them to know you are selling something.

- Over dependence on a single individual or on a predicted specific event. Sometimes people are just lucky to get that one big break but not everybody is as lucky as the others.

- Failure to understand capital requirements of a growing business. A growing business needs progressive funds.

- Poor timing of expenditures due to poor planning. Bad compliance to the budgeting schedule leads to making unnecessary purchases that could be very hurtful to your company's growth.
