Over 50s are new business start-up generation

Self-employment is increasing in every age group, but statistics show it is older people who are becoming their own bosses at a much faster rate. As the new start-up generation over 50s (and particularly over 55s) are taking the market by store. Over 55s make up 20% of all Britain’s new business owners according to the Office for National Statistics and this is particularly exciting when you consider all the talent, knowledge and experience being brought to the table.

There is no perfect age to enter the business world and at The Web Surgery we help businesspeople of all backgrounds and life experiences. Keep the following in mind as an older businessperson and there is no reason your venture can’t be huge success:

Be Ready to Juggle

Those aged 50 and over are often referred to as the “sandwich generation”. As people live longer and longer you may find yourself supporting both your ageing parents and your children at the same time. This means you need expert juggling skills to throw a business into the mix. Starting up a business is relentless at the best of times but with good organisation and real commitment, there is no reason it won’t succeed.

Stay Practical

You may have a vision of how you want things to be when your business is a success, but the early days are all about being practical and business-focused. Having an idea and doing nothing with it is what hundreds of potential businesspeople do every day. If you want to make a success of your business idea you have to do the groundwork, research your market and practically carry out every step necessary to launch a successful business.

Keep up with the Crowd

Being older is not an excuse for not keeping up to date. Public opinion will already be that you’re “behind the times” so make sure you work to avoid this assumption. The world of business moves very quickly and you have to keep up with it. Any area you’re not sure about you should consider consulting experts and working with professionals who can keep your business (and yourself) up to speed.

At The Web Surgery we are pleased to see the growth in older entrepreneurs. We look forward to working with you and your business in the future.

I have nothing but praise for The Web Surgery, who revamped my static website into a cutting-edge platform for selling my books. They are easy to communicate with and extremely well-priced. A truly happy collaboration.

I would like to thank you once again for all your help and support as Chair of Marketing for the Hampstead Business Association and in particular the Christmas Festival. The results of your efforts were fantastic - what a crowd we had and what power there is in marketing and social media which you handled exceedingly well. Thank you once again from all of us.
