Lord Sugar tells SME to "Stop winging"
By Lord Sugar 5th Jan 2011
I am sure that many owners of small businesses (SMEs) are considering what they are about to face in 2011. True, there are doom and gloom messages from the Government, not helped by David Cameron who, in covering his backside, stated that he sees 2011 as very challenging, still singing the same song, “We are cleaning up the mess we inherited.” A bit of the broken record syndrome, I think.
My message to those who run a small business is that at this time of year it’s good to have a good look in the mirror and rethink your strategy. May I suggest that whatever plans you are thinking of, don’t – repeat don’t – rely upon government or banks or anybody else to give you ideas? Unless you sign on to the fact that it is you alone that runs your business, you will be going down the wrong road. It’s all about you.

They have gathered together a team of finance experts and have published an in-depth study showing how finance can be made available to SME's, even in these constrained time.
