Encountered problems and outcome status in nascent entrepreneurship

by Marco van Gelderen, Roy Thurik, and Pankaj Patel

The relationship betwwen outcome status and encountered problems in the business start-up process is investigated. Contrary to expectations, we find that starter do not substantially differ from quitters in the number and type of problems encountered, and that problems encountered generally do not affect outcome status. This research is based on a sample of 414 Duch nascent entrepreneurs followed over a three-year period. Its design is comparable to that of the U.S. Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics.
