248.830.1540 www.umsuca.com Most new small businesses fail – that is a sad fact and completely unnecessary. They don’t fail because the people starting the business don’t have a good idea, don’t have financing or because they don’t work hard. No one works harder than the founder of a new business who has invested her or his time, heart, soul and money into an idea they believe in. They fail for structural reasons – reasons of organization and cost; controllable reasons. Unicorn Consulting Associates are experts in small business start ups and have learned the lessons of success and failure the hard way – by doing it.
