What does an SME want ?
Discussion with SMEs indicate that what they require is:
1 Ways of increasing their business - marketing
2 reduce their own administration costs
3 provide better products and services
4 minimise Government record keeping
5 above all have a computer system that can communicate with anybody and everybody with minimum of effort
Notes:
Having work with Small and Medium size Enterprises for many years most try to conform with the various Legal requirements.
However many business managers do not have the training or knowledge to put in place the appropriate business structures very quickly.
Most are caught up in the day-to-day problem of ensuring cash flow is sufficient to meet labour, tax and running costs.
Many if not all would all like to reduce their administration costs and improve efficiency and be able to communicate electronically with business trading partners.
