The SME Business Training 1 Course

From the desk of CCBN

Jom reap sua ,

We believe the reason why you are here is because you want to build a “healthy” and successful business. However, most of us were not taught how to start a business when we were in school. 

This year, we finished interviewing several CCBN members who are existing business owners. We asked them about the challenges with their businesses.

Here are the top 4 challenges from those interviews.

1. First, data says that the biggest challenge for these business owners is most of them don’t know how to complete a business plan or don’t have one at all. 

2. Secondly, they struggle to generate more customers for their businesses

3. Three. There’s a lack of experience in managing finances. For example, bookkeeping and accounting.

4. And lastly Four, they have unmotivated employees. 

Do you face these similar problems too?

What’s the cost of leaving these problems unsolved for your business? Is it potential revenue or time? Or is it both.

If these problems were costing you a minimum of 10% of potential revenue, how much would that mean to you? Would that be $1,000 per year, $10,000 per year or even more? 

So what if there was a way to minimize some of the problems you face with your business? 

Wouldn’t that be great?

That’s what CCBN’s new SME Business Training 1 is for!
