The SME sector has proved to be a game-changer in the Australian economy, representing a staggering 98% of actively-trading businesses. This sector has been bolstered by the proliferation of Start-Ups, which has seen enormous growth in recent years.
While the SME sector is a booming arena, these businesses are often under-resourced and time-poor. Ongoing growth of the SME sector makes it vital for the management to position their business and assess potential opportunities correctly.
