During these uncertain times what should you as a business owner be doing?
As accountants we suggest that you have an overview of your business; look at what your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities as well as threats are. Try and get an understanding of where you sit in the marketplace, as well as scoping out what your competitors are doing. Are there any processes you could be doing differently or more efficiently?
Visualise what the business looks like when it is running successfully and in profit, then make a plan of how to get there, and what steps need to be put in place. Prioritise certain areas that perhaps need an extra bit of tlc.
