MORE TH>N comments on Silver Surfer's Day, 23rd May 2008

People aged 55 and over are just as likely to want to start an online business as 18 to 24 year olds, according to MORE TH>N BUSINESS, the direct insurance provider for small businesses.

These encouraging findings coincide with the Silver Surfer's Day (Friday 23rd May), which is dedicated to helping the over-50s who aren't yet online to become familiar with internet and the new technology.

Mike Bowman, Head of MORE TH>N BUSINESS, said: "This research shows the older generation of entrepreneurs are not only adapting to the internet, but they are also competing head-on with the younger generation in the business arena using new technology.

"Initiatives such as the Silver Surfer's Day are very important in helping this generation make the most out of the internet in their social and professional lives.

"At MORE TH>N BUSINESS, we work closely with all ages of entrepreneurs to ensure that they are protected from an insurance perspective, and believe that being a successful entrepreneur is not a matter of age - it comes down to commitment, energy and passion."
