CNNMoney has a report that details how entrepreneurs start their businesses. 

Specifically:

• Most small businesses are started with less than $10,000.
• 53% say they would have liked to have more capital available during the startup phase.
• Biggest regrets: entrepreneurs (during the first 2 years) would have liked to have a) more money b) more financial management education.

As I’ve harped about endlessly, most startup problems can be mitigated by small business management education.
