With a whopping 80% of new businesses failing in the first 18 months (Bloomberg 2013) it is so important to make sure you fully understand what is involved and plan for your first 5 years of trading; If you charge in without doing your research you are likely to come up against obstacles that could have otherwise been avoided.
