Evaluation

when setting up a new business was risk free then we will all do it . How ever the start up is very risky for entrepreneurs is that investing in a start up business. The main risks is that the business could fail. and the then they could lose their investment. In the case of a sole trader or partnership, the entrepreneur may  also end up personally liable for the debts of the failed business. this could also leave the entrepreneur struggling to finance another business. but overall the the main rewards will be the financial gain.
