Small Business Britain: On the airwaves!
As part our Small Business Britain campaign, our managing director Pernille Bruun-Jensen, took to the airwaves to discuss the importance of UK small businesses in the run up to the election.
She chatted with more than 20 radio stations around the UK, sharing the findings of our Small Business Britain survey, as well as some of the key tips that came from the research.
Couldn’t get to the radio in time? Click on the podcast below to hear Pernille’s interview with BBC Radio Northampton (104.2-103.6FM).
Some of the advice that Pernille shared from small business owners around the UK included:
Be heard! Use channels such as Small Business Britain to make sure your voice is heard, and to call on the government, elected bodies, banks and the wider business community to support your success and prosperity.
Make it personal – According to our research, 84% of small businesses believe that their ability to provide a more personal touch with customers is a key advantage. Start-ups and small companies can show a fresher, newer approach and take advantage of their flexibility.
Keep on top of accounts – Awareness of how much is being spent and for what is important. Our research showed that 85% of small businesses felt the best way to manage cash flow was to always keep accounts up-to-date.
Don’t be late – Most small businesses have experienced difficulty with timely customer payments. Put simply, if you don’t get paid, you won’t be in business for long. Our research showed that the number one way to avoid late payments is to set up clear payment terms at an early stage (48%).
