FAQ For SME Consulting
An SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) is a business that falls within certain limits on staff headcount, turnover, or balance sheet total, depending on the country and industry.
Over 99% of all companies fall into the SME bracket, ranging from startups to those with up to 250 employees and £50m turnover.
Small business consultants offer guidance to company owners or their leadership teams on the full range of strategic and management areas, including their business model, navigating challenges, growth, marketing & sales, HR and leadership development.
They also help develop strategies, optimise organisations and capture opportunities.
You may also want to consider working with a business coach if you are looking to develop as a leader.
Most businesses will benefit from working with a consultant, coach or mentor.
Business consultants can benefit a wide range of companies, including:
- Startups needing guidance on strategy, funding, and scaling.
