Take the bull by the horns in the post-Covid economy SME 1:1 support may focus on:

  1. How your customer’s needs have changed and how we can continue to meet their needs, and/or meet their new needs.
  2. Ways to unlock value from existing assets – people, infrastructure, resources etc.

  2. The business will be able to identify the issues that need to be immediately addressed, across a broad spectrum of areas.
  3. The business will have identified market opportunities and have a clear vision for the new ways of doing business that needs to be adopted to give the business the best chance of success and sustain it for the longer term.
