UNIVERSITY WORLD NEWS: When’s the best time for students to start a business? Now.

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

The Higher Education Statistics Agency in the United Kingdom recorded nearly 5,000 start-ups created by UK university students last year. Other recent data suggests as many as 17% of students in the United States run their own business while at college, a figure which is 11% and 10% in Australia and the UK respectively. There are many examples of products we use every day such as Facebook, Google and Snapchat that were developed by students at university. So, it seems there has never been a better time to start a business as a student. But how easy is it to start a business at university in reality?
