SME and Family Firms’ Services
Supporting Entrepreneurs
The Backbone Of The Economy
There are over 5.7 million SMEs in the UK, from one person freelancers to large multi-million-pound turnover SME’s. Together, they comprise 99% of all businesses in the UK and form the backbone of the British economy.
It is absolutely critical therefore that SME’s of all shapes and sizes, from sole traders and free lancers, through micro firms, to SME’s and family firms are provided with comprehensive, professional support at every stage of their entrepreneurial lifecycle.
A Personal Motivation
Carruthers Associates’ specialist SME focus is born out two highly personal reasons.
Firstly, we are entrepreneurs with over thirty years of international experience; and as such we recognise, know, share with you and can emphasise with the risk, courage and determination required to successfully set up businesses from scratch; the pain, fear, worries, frustrations that can be felt; as well as the consequent pride, reward and satisfaction that comes from successfully growing, developing and running a successful business.
Secondly, since ‘SME’s’ are the backbone of British business, not only does it make business sense to support such firms, but we feel that there is a moral and ethical perspective; and that such firms provide perfect catalysts for constructive business which benefit not only the economy, but society and communities.
Our mission objective is simple, to provide ‘SME’s’ with end to end life support; and help assure their sustainable success, resilience and operational excellence; and allow business owners and teams to focus on what they do best, author, develop, capture and deliver successful business.
As an SME and family firm, we also know exactly what our peers and fellow business owners want over the short, medium and long-term; notably:
Business Intelligence, Information and Data
Develop, Capture and Deliver Business
Financial Stability
Growth and Development
Operational Stability and Excellence
Performance and Productivity
Reduced Operational Costs, Expenses and Taxation
Reduced Risk
Enhanced Profit
