  • Why do businesses fail?

Paul is a seasoned entrepreneur and business leader with more than 20 years experience in business development across numerous different businesses and sectors. He is passionate about global small business growth and success for the benefit of all the people involved in this sector.

ABOUT THE ACADEMY:

95% of all new businesses fail within the first 5 years of starting up.

The JCI London Entrepreneurial Academy asks what is the reality of starting your own business? Why do businesses fail?

The Academy aims to build a network of like-minded entrepreneurs, to share knowledge and experience and to create new business opportunities and/or prospective cooperation

Through 6 events and a workshop we aim at building an understanding of the skills that makes an entrepreneur, develop entrepreneurial skills and business acumen, learn about resources and leadership and how to position yourself for funding and investment

The goal of the Academy is to empower aspiring and existing entrepreneurs to succeed
