Reasons for failure HomeCompanyServicesContact

Research reports that half of small businesses eventually fail, 40% struggle to make economic returns, and only 10% succeed. The most common reasons cited for small business failure are:

  • Lack of expertise by management
  • Underestimating the resources required
  • Lack of key performance measures
  • Failure to monitor the business performance
  • Lack of processes and systems
  • Recruiting the wrong employees
  • Confusion over cash flow and profit

Growing businesses

Many companies struggle to achieve growth past a certain point, as the owner-manager is too busy working "in" the business rather than "on" the business.

We provide management and oversight for businesses that are not yet large enough to have a full-time general manager, but are growing too quickly for the owner to manage. We can work together to help you manage your business more effectively, as well as applying our expertise to finding growth opportunities.
