Who We Work With?
Who Do We Serve?
We offer a range of products and services designed for small businesses.
All our clients are small businesses ranging from the one man owner business to companies employing several people and turning over in the region of two million pounds.
These businesses cut across a variety of business sectors and include retail, e-commerce, building and construction, health and nutrition, leisure, manufacturing, software, training, services, tradesmen, commerce and consulting.
Typically our clients have expertise in a wide variety of skills, trades and professions within their own industry but often run short of time, resources or lack skills in other business areas. To illustrate this point, do any of the following scenarios fit your situation?
-
You're an owner manager of an expanding company and increasingly you are finding it difficult to keep on top of paper work - e.g. who do you owe money to, who owes you money. You don't have the time or financial resources to employ and train someone else.
-
You're a well established company who sees the need to re brand and modernize your business. You want to introduce and take advantage of technology. You see all the advantages this can bring but do not know where to begin.
-
You and possibly your staff have been trained on how to use some or all of the Microsoft office applications. A few weeks have gone by and you've now come to use Excel or a feature contained within the product but can't remember how to complete the task - this is very common. You become frustrated and give up because you've run out of time.
-
The work you have been doing with your clients has led you to develop a unique product. You know this product could make a difference to many more companies, but you have no idea where and how to start marketing it.
-
You're business is still running a manual accounting system and would like to computerize the book-keeping in order to have regular financial information, make VAT simpler and reduce your accountancy bill. You don't want to take on any more staff and don't have the time yourself.
-
You've been in business several years and have always relied on word of mouth to bring in business. However, things are changing and word of mouth is not having the same effect. You need to spread the word about your services and products to a wider audience but can't afford to spend thousands of pounds employing a marketing agency or public relations company. You and possibly your staff have some spare time and would like to use technology to help you achieve these goals in-house.
