Small to medium business owners, unlike large organisations, generally don’t have a management team experienced across a range of business critical disciplines at their disposal to help run their businesses as effectively as large organisations, it’s often down to one or two individuals and that can be not only challenging but lonely too. We fill the gap and are able to provide practical advice and guidance or even just be someone to bounce ideas off or talk to.How we deliver practical advise that works

- The document introduces East Coast Consulting and their Business Support Program which provides small to medium business owners access to a virtual board of directors for advice and support.
- It notes that SME owners often wear many hats and lack broad business experience, specialist advisors, and formal training. As a result, they face numerous problems that seriously impact their business.
- The Business Support Program allows SME owners to access the experience of senior business professionals to help address concerns, problems, and opportunities in areas like planning, sales, finance, and more. Owners retain control while gaining ongoing support as if they had their own non-executive board of directors.Health Status
