Small & medium business (SME) management consultancy

This page looks at ways to get the skills and knowledge to achieve your business goals. Focused consultancy gives you a chance to talk about where your organisation is at and where you want to go.  Business plans are an important step in analysing your vision. Experience and 'fresh eyes' can expand upon your ideas and drive your business forward into areas that you hadn't yet considered.

Business start up and planning ahead

A business plan does not always have to be a large document.  Use it as an opportunity to test your ideas. Be sure to set out what you want to achieve at the beginning and work towards showing how, in practice, you will achieve your goals.

We can help you through this development phase.

There is a wealth of government funded support available for small business.  They understand your specific needs and want to help you to be successful.  Contact us if you need some direction as to how and where you can access these services in your local area.

If you're contacting us from Christchurch, NZ; this is just for you.

In CHRISTCHURCH, the Canterbury Development Corporation (CDC) was leading economic development following the September earthquake. They still have a vision that supports a stronger and smarter business economy following the recent Canterbury earthquake and aftershocks.  Well done for getting this far.  The future remains uncertain for so many of us, that we take each day, and each challenge one at a time. Accept any support that's on offer. You could be even more successful in the future.

If your business is up and running you will already understand the wide variety of skills that are required. Running any business involves several areas in addition to providing your product or services. If you haven't yet added information technology to this (IT) in some way - now is the time to appreciate the vast amount of business that is accessed and conducted via the web.

So, you're already in business and want to move forward

What are your new goals? Expansion or growth is always an exiting time for a business. You'll need to carefully consider the risks and co-ordinate with your existing systems. Identifying any barriers to your growth and expansion in advance will go a long way toward securing your success.

Prepare for necessary changes in your people and data management in advance. Re-assessing how you communicate with your existing and future client base, is a sure way in itself, to encourage business growth.

Or is your business experiencing some negative effects?  

Ask yourself if your business would benefit from clear policies to give clear guidance on issues such as the business finances or email and internet usage by employees?

Is management of the people you deal with a difficulty for your business?

Talk to us about your specific concerns.  We'd like to help.

Skilled website content management

A good website is a must for any business these days - it's expected. Great websites are those that are regularly updated, well managed and easy for people to use. Getting the likes of Google and Yahoo to pick up your site is another matter altogether and requires particular attention to detail.

Writing for the web is a skill in itself. You need your content to be clear and functional.  As well as being of use to anyone coming across your site.  First, you need to make sure people find it!  Next, make sure you maintain their interest by directing users to the information they want. Then and only then do you have the opportunity to generate some new business.
