Starting an online business in May should not differ from starting a business at any time. However, some curious and astonishing coincidences make the month of May a special one.

May is the perfect month to start an online business because it's the beginning of summer, which means you have more time to dedicate to your new venture. You also have more flexibility in terms of scheduling and less stress about school or work demands because it's still early enough in the year that students haven't yet started their summer internships or jobs. Many employees are on vacation until June.

It's also an excellent time for starting an online business in May because it gives you plenty of time before fall arrives--the busiest season for many businesses (especially retail). This gives you ample opportunity to get things off the ground without having too much competition right away!

Finally, May offers lots of sunshine and warm weather, which makes working outside easier than when winter rolls around later on in 2023 (or even earlier if you live somewhere like Alaska).
