Small Business Tips
Plan is a four-letter word – researching the market you are intending to enter is of upmost importance. Make sure there is a demand for your services and identify who the competition is.

Honesty is always the best policy. If things are not working out how you thought they would, find out the reasons why and find a new approach.
Hiring Contractors
Hiring contractors for your small business can sometimes be problematic. Because, as a small business, you will not have a great amount of cash flow, its important that you have a job done correctly, and at the price quoted, so that you don't have to pay out more money in the future.
Tips for hiring IT/Web Contractors
Ensure that you are not, especially with web designers, just hiring them because they are cheap. What if your website is cheap, but useless? What is the point of that? When you have people that offer IT support, make sure that your systems are protected from viruses
Tips for hiring Tradesmen
When you require the help of plumbers fixing leaky taps, tilers needing to replace ceramic tiles, joiners to fix woodwork, or builders to build a wall for example, it is important that you get the price that is quoted when you speak initially. We recommend a service such as ratedpeople.com or localtraders.com (click here for the Manchester builders page on local traders). This way, you can get quotes from several tradesmen at the same time, saving you time and also getting a competitive price for repair work needed on your office or premises.
Tips for hiring Administrators
Whether it is financial advice for the business from a business consultant such as ourselves, or accountancy services, make sure that you speak to other small business owners to see who they recommend. We definitely think that you cannot beat a good referral to an accountant. We have used the same accountant for years (Millet Adams, Fenton) and we have never looked back. We highly recommend Millet Adams if you are from the Stoke on Trent area.
