In addition, this study shows that psychological coaching is an efficient remedy to reduce emotional shock after experiencing unplanned failure whereas social coaching is an efficient support of integrating successor following a planned failure in some social network. However, current thinking on incubation should be increased in order to help with business recovery especially as there is a high failure rate associated with startups.This research attempts to ensure a possible relationship between entrepreneurial support practices and failing entrepreneurs’ needs.
