10 Biggest Challenges Faced by Small Businesses
Accessing and Raising Capital
When institutional investors aren’t interested, where can small or medium-sized businesses turn for capital to fuel growth?
The Marketing Trap
In trying to grow your business, should you spend your time enhancing your relationship with those customers or should you spend your resources on new customer cultivation.?
Concentration Risk
One of the many risks a business faces is customer concentration. In general, if a large customer represents more than 10% of revenues, the business is exposed to customer concentration risk.
Time
Regardless of whether you appropriate a monetary value to it or not, time is generally one of the most valuable commodities a small business owner has.
Changing Government Regulations

Analyzing if You Are Making Money
Measuring and understanding current and past profitability, and projecting future profitability is of the utmost importance for any business.

Affording Needed Staffing
It always seems like you need another (or two or three) pair of hands as you grow. Question is who? When? How many and can I afford them?
Outside Consultants and Advisors - Do You Need Them?
You can do a lot, but you can’t do it all or hire all the people you need at critical times in your development. It’s that plain and simple. Do I need, can I afford and should I bring on outsiders to assist?
