What is a Small Business and what Help do they need ?

Small Business is traditionally 1 to 50 employees, which encompasses a huge number of businesses and business types.
From a one man band running a business from home, to a contractor doing subcontract work for a bigger company, to much larger companies employing many staff, each business type has a lot of similarities and generally only a few specific differences.

Common problems in most businesses are as follows:

• Cashflow
• Funding
  • Operating Funds
  • Cashflow compensation funds
  • Expansion Funds
• Sales
  • Sales Training
  • Marketing and Advertising
• Supplies
  • Local
  • Imports
• Accounting and Tax / GST /VAT
• Staff problems
  • Skilled staff shortage
  • Personality conflicts
  • Productivity

So how is a small Business going to address these issues of administration and management ?
Getting help requires overcoming some issues in itself, before the real issue is addressed.

1) the business needs to recognise that it needs help in some area

2) the business must commit to providing time and probably money to address the issue.

3) the business needs to be willing to listen to outside help and be willing to act on the advice.

Once these issues have been addressed, then the task of finding relevant help for the Small business begins.

Methods of Help can range from employing Consultants, to training or re-assigning tasks within existing staff, to self help type programs or courses.
