So you’ve done it – you have decided to leave your permanent job,
follow your dream and start your own business – great news! But now
what?
Help, I’m stuck
Starting a business – and keeping one going – can be incredibly
challenging in what are still very tough economic times. As an
entrepreneur with a clear vision you know exactly where you want your
business to go - but it can take a lot to admit that you don’t know how
to get it there. This is where many small and medium businesses come
unstuck. Where can you find the expertise you need at a price you can
afford? To solve this problem, many small businesses are turning to
interim managers.
Multifunctional masters
No longer just the preserve of large multinationals or global
conglomerates, an interim manager is a flexible, affordable way of
getting the knowledge and insight you need to guide your business in the
right direction.
Whether it is help with sales and marketing,
assistance with finance and regulatory matters or day-to-day operational
and HR advice, using an interim manager is a quick and easy way to
obtain the skills you need.
Cost sensitive
The other key advantage is that interims operate as a controlled,
daily cost – essential for smaller organisations. With no sickness,
holiday, pension or other traditional benefits to pay for, it is very
easy for SMEs to forecast how much an interim will cost over a specified
period of time, with no hidden extras.
Over-experienced
If you do choose to hire this sort of resource, small-business owners
must also be prepared for the fact that the interim will more than
likely be over-qualified for the role they are doing. Don’t be
intimidated by this; their breadth of experience means they can deliver
for your business faster and leave you with a sustainable best practice
approach to grow your business successfully.
