Most startups fail because of management decisions, their inability to recognise challenges, react and find solutions cause startups to fail. Many issues are not picked up quickly enough because they do not have a robust performance management process.

Established Businesses

Established small businesses struggle to compete with large businesses as they have not reached the level of maturity in process automation, succession management and performance management to achieve the ‘economies of scale’ of their competitors.

Main Characteristics Of Small Businesses

  • The number of staff is increasing, but the performance management process is immature or non-existent.
  • They are becoming more sophisticated in their core business processes, but lacking the full automation of large and enterprise businesses.
  • Due to their size, they react quicker than large businesses to change, but not as fast as micro businesses.
  • The customer base is growing and more diverse. They struggle to keep pace with this diversification
  • The financial structure is becoming more complex and there is a requirement for additional funding to support growth.
  • Annual budgeted and business planning takes place, but they are not robust as in large businesses.

How We help Established small and medium sized businesses:

  • Finding and developing executive talent
  • Developing Staff performance management and compensation systems
  • Choosing the right growth strategy
    Developing financing strategies and instruments
  • Adopting new technologies, innovation and intellectual property
