Practical support

Research carried out by the Institute for Independent Business amongst thousands of businesses employing between 5 and 250 employees (this group contains the majority of the number of businesses in the UK economy, over 99%) shows that the ten most significant problems faced by business owners and managing directors are:

Cash flow difficulties
Lack of a personal exit strategy
Profitability
Marketing
No one to talk to about the business
Out of date information
Red tape
Not enough time
Funding
Loss of the original vision for the business

If you own your own business and suffer in any or all of these areas you may not be surprised to learn that others do too. But you needn’t suffer alone: there are practical ways of ensuring that you and your business receive the support you need.

If you’d like an objective discussion about your business and have an hour of uninterrupted time you can set aside for this, please contact us to arrange a meeting. There is no charge for this meeting, no obligation, and everything discussed remains completely confidential. We find it helps to have an open mind and the confidence to talk openly about your concerns.

We don't take a hard sell approach to promoting our services, so if you want to buy them, we won't discourage you. We think that is fair, particularly when the typical cost of support for the areas shown above is just a fraction of the value it adds back to your business. There are many other areas where we provide practical support: see advisory services for more details.
