From surviving to thriving – small business changes that deliver big impact

In normal circumstances, attaining success is a challenge for any business owner. Added to that, a volatile economic environment coupled with the daily realities of the pandemic, create an environment that is additionally challenging for small businesses.

Despite being an active driver of growth and employment in the South African economy, small businesses suffer the most in times of hardship. With limited cash reserves, smaller client bases and a lower capacity to manage the peaks and troughs of trading, an inadequate financial presence can lead to the downfall of any business.

We recognize that entrepreneurs need to adopt and adapt to new ways of doing business to support, and we are here to lend a helping hand. In this blog, we discuss the importance of embracing technology and focusing on quality, to ensure your small business can survive, thrive and deliver big impact for you as the entrepreneur.
