The Small and Medium Enterprise owner has one of the toughest and loneliest positions in business today.

Compared to the Managing Director of a larger organisation, who has a Management Team with qualified people in the areas of operantions, production, finance, human resources, information management, etc., and a Board of Directors with both Industry and Market knowledge and experience, the Managing Director Owner of a SME stand alone in all the areas of his or her business.

Even the most competent and successful businessperson need the knowledge and experience of experts in various fileds of business to maximise their growth and profitability, or sometimes just to survive tough market conditions. The problem, until now, was that these SMEs did not need such expertise on a full time basis and neither could they afford it. That has now changed.
