What We Offer
Did You Know?
Small businesses are the backbone of America. With 34.8 million small businesses representing 99.9% of all U.S. companies, entrepreneurs drive our economy forward every single day.
But here's what most people don't talk about: the hidden challenges that come with building a business.
The Business Survival Challenge
While entrepreneurship offers incredible opportunities, the statistics reveal why having the right support matters:
📈 Year 1: 1 in 5 businesses don't make it past their first year
📈 Year 5: Only half of all businesses survive to their 5th anniversary
📈 Year 10: Just 1 in 3 businesses reach their 10th year
But here's the encouraging news: service-based businesses like coaching and consulting actually have better survival rates than product-based companies.
The Mental Health Reality
Behind every business statistic is a human story. Research shows entrepreneurs face unique mental health challenges:
🧠 72% of entrepreneurs report mental health concerns — nearly 3x higher than the general population
😰 50%+ struggle with anxiety — significantly above the national average
💙 30% experience depression — more than 4x the general population rate
😔 27% feel lonely and isolated — especially those running online businesses
💰 39% worry about money — making financial stress a top concern
