May is National Small Business Month, and it’s the right time to start a business according to Jeff and Rich Sloan hosts of the nationally syndicated StartupNation Radio program.

The Sloan brothers’ top ten reasons that it’s a good time to start a business:

1. We learned a lot of lessons in the dot-com era of what works in business and what doesn’t.
2. People are available. It’s a great time to hire; great people are seeking jobs.
3. Angel investors are investing again.
4. Big companies are doing more outsourcing which provides opportunity to small businesses.
5. eBay® makes starting a home-based business easier than ever.
6. Startup costs are more affordable than ever because: many companies are competing for the small business dollar, thus driving prices down, and the internet provides the ability to start a business with a low- cost website
7. Corporate job security is a thing of the past — starting your own business may actually have more security.
8. If you don’t pursue your great idea, someone else inevitably will.
9. The internet levels the playing field against big business and provides access to a world market.
10. “Now” is always the best time to start that dream business!
