Is 2020 the year for you to start a new business?
It will likely be a long time before we fully understand the impact Covid-19 has had on our economy. However, one thing is clear: Ohioans are continuing to start new businesses at a notable pace.
The Ohio Secretary of State has announced that more than 18,000 new business entities (for-profit and non-profit) were created in the month of August. That includes corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and similar entities. It’s a new state record and more than 72% higher than August of 2019.
These numbers probably reflect the unique factors we have faced in 2020:
- Many businesses have continued to thrive and grow, despite the Covid-19 issues.
- Shutdowns have given many employees time to work on their plans to start a business.
- Uncertainty about the economy may be leading some to question the future of the current employer.
- Low interest rates and government stimulus programs are making capital more available to new small businesses.
At Kick & Gilman, we are happy to have created a number of those new entities, and many more throughout the year. We represent businesses with 1 to several hundred employees. Clients regularly come to us to discuss their new business ideas.
