Does your business function as you want it to? Does everyone communicate? Are there clear policies and procedures? Do people enjoy working for you? If not, SMEO can help you put into place the policies, procedures and processes that will help your business run like clockwork, examples are as follows:  
     
   
Regulatory Policies
There are some key policies that every business should have in place, these would include; a health and safety policy, equal opportunities policy and a disciplinary policy to include policies on grievance, bullying and harassment. These policies do not have to be complicated or sophisticated by they need to be right.

SMEO can create these policies tailored to your business, quickly, easily and competitively.
 
       
   
Additional Policies

Again SMEO can provide these policies, tailored to your business at a competitive rate. We can also provide an annual review to ensure that they remain up to date.
 
       
   
Business Plans
Business owners often struggle with creating a business plan, sometimes this is because they simply never seem to get the time, sometimes it's because they are not sure what to put in it, but a well constructed business plan can be a great help. Amongst other things it encourages you to examine what you do objectively which often results with you identifying simple changes that would help you become more successful.

SMEO provide a business planning workshop that will help you create this document and realise all the benefits of doing so.

 
       
   
Business Review / Audit
If you were to do things differently could you make your business more efficient and profitable? The chances are that the correct answer is yes because regardless of what you do and how you do it, there are probably ways that it could be done better.

SMEO offer a business review service which gives business owners a completely objective input. It also provides you the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and experience of many other business owners.

 
       
   
Market Research
What do your customers and suppliers think of you and does it matter? If you were to find that 20% of them were offended by the employee who answered your phone it might. Whether you want to find potential room for improvement or look for new opportunities there is always value in getting the regular feedback from your customers and sometimes that can include your employees.

SMEO can provide the objective party to gather these viewpoints and we can do so in a way that suits your budget and individual requirements.
