The performance of team‐start businesses in the UK

Abstract

Considers the growth performance of team‐starts (businesses founded by more than one individual) against the performance of enterprises founded by single individuals. Previous research, mainly conducted in the USA has found a significant link between team‐starts and superior growth performance. However, this study finds no such link. It is concluded that future research should concentrate on in‐depth case studies of team dynamics rather than trying to draw generalisations about the growth potential of team‐starts en masse.
