What's the #1 thing that holds people back from starting a business?

Half of Americans consider starting a business, but what holds them back?

Did you know that 42% of Americans have considered starting a business. So what held them back? Money! Financial constraints are why many people are reluctant to launch their business idea. If this is why you’ve put off starting a new venture, keep in mind that your business idea may not require a significant investment upfront, and alternative possibilities like loans, grants, and crowdsourcing can help.
