How senior entrepreneurs are rewriting the rules on work & retirement

An increasing number of older Australians are starting their own businesses – using their considerable expertise to create value for their customers and the economy.

Remarkably, businesses started by older people have a much higher success rate than other startups. What’s more, there are also unexpected benefits for the business owners themselves. We examine the reasons why.  

Older Australians launch businesses for a range of reasons. It may be the experience of age discrimination when looking for work, or a desire for challenge, control and flexibility. Either way, senior entrepreneurs are a growing economic force to be reckoned with. FPW Financial Advice examines the following:

  • The world’s most entrepreneurial age groups
  • Senior entrepreneurs more likely to succeed
  • Greater industry and life experience
  • Broader networks
  • Positive mindset and motivation
  • The capacity to self-finance
  • The benefits of self-employment.
