A full 92 percent of U.S. adults who go online said it was important for a new small business to have an Internet presence, according to the second annual Yahoo survey measuring small business
aspirations of the general population released Wednesday. Also, 75 percent of U.S. adults who go online said that the Internet has made it easier to start a small business. When asked, "At what age do
you think it would be too late to start you own business?," 70 percent of respondents age 45-54, and 72 percent age 55 and above, chose the response: "I will never be too old to start my own
business." That's a substantial increase compared to last year's survey, when 54 percent of those age 45-54 chose the "never too old" response, and 58 percent of those age 55 and above chose the same
response.
