Many business owners are subject to business stress at some point through their business career. Stress can be challenging especially in the present business and world economic times, but there can be a number of other challenges that can impact on the business such as:

• Debtors not paying
• Staff issues
• Cash Flow challenges
• Creditors
• Business partners
• Spouses
• Asset repairs
• Client degradation
• Family
• Economic pressure
• Supply chain constraints

These all culminate to put stress on to the business owners that can cause calamities at times.

Signs of physical stress:

• Lack of sleep
• Reduction in food
• Relationship conflicts
• Irritability
• Head aches
• Back pain
• Chest pain
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Heart palpitations
• Decreased immunity
• Stomach upsets
• Anxiety
• Restlessness
• Worrying
• Depression
• Anger
• Insecurity
• Lack of Focus
• Forgetfulness
• Social withdrawal
• Drug and alcohol abuse

Business Consultants see these symptoms on a regular basis and attempt to ensure that the environment can be changed constructively and not destructively on the business.

Change management processes and procedures assist the management and administration of the business to mitigate the risks with quality turnaround management processes.

Auckland Small Business Help

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.
