5 Important smart plans for SME Business Owner’s Success.

SME Business Plan – Worldwide, SMEs are the basic businesses that help and contribute towards GDP and Employment. This could range from 40% to 80%. At India, SME contributes around 40% of GDP, which is great one. Ironically, many SMEs start and close soon before it becomes large. The challenges could be funding, competition and not understanding the ecosystem. Many business owners start the business by looking at someone who did and thinking, “I can do better than him”.

Some of the reasons like no proper business planning, no cash flow projections, no marketing plan and budget makes sure that they are closed soon and loose invested money. In a hurry to survive then spend more money based on some “expert” advice. We have seen this behaviour during our Cloud ERP sales and always wondered why they spend so much money on Accounting Software that even doesn’t take care of their basic needs. Seems they are impressed with word “ERP” attached to these accounting software and assume that it will do all the wonders.
