Overview

Growth is a big concern for small businesses. It is something that many small business owners find hard to achieve. Putting a detailed business strategy in place is a vital first step towards growth. But not enough small business owners today create – or maintain - a detailed plan. It is essential, and can often be used as a vital sanity check. One of the biggest barriers to small business growth is an inability to take time out to work on - not just in - their business. Small business owners do not regularly set aside time to work on their business strategy. Not having enough time to strategise is considered a bigger barrier even than the current economic environment to growth. Many small business owners say that not having the time to step back from the day to day running of their business to focus on longer-term strategy, is a barrier to growth. One of the best ways to create effective strategies – and, vitally, to ensure you take the necessary time out to do so - is to take professional advice. ‘In my dealings with Nasser, I have found his business knowledge, help and experience to be invaluable. Add this to his wonderfully relaxed and friendly manner and you have a true professional who is totally competent, trustworthy and reliable. He has certainly been a great asset to my business and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.’ Graham Youd Director
