The first year is the riskiest, with 50 percent failing under five years. The largest failure clusters are firms with $5k to $25k liabilities, then $25k to $100k. over $1 million in liabilities is rare. Regional spikes hit the West South Central and East South Central. Oregon saw near doubling. Causes: lack of experience and incompetence account for about 92 percent of failures.
