There's no one right age to launch your own business, but generally speaking, your mid-20s to mid-30s can be a great time. You'll likely have some work experience by then which is useful, but you're still young enough to take risks. That said, don't let age stop you from pursuing your entrepreneurial dreams. While the later teenage years may seem early, with the right support and business idea, even teens can find success. Own your own business whenever a good opportunity arises and you feel mentally and financially prepared to handle the stress of self employment.
