How to do Business which focuses on direct support of the owner manager in expanding small businesses

www.Aiconsultants.co.uk which focuses on research and training programme development for organisations wishing to reach small businesses. Organisations we've worked with include the DTI, PCWorld, Virgin Atlantic, One London, e-skills UK, Chartered Institute of Marketing and My first Business.

www.plants4presents.co.uk which offers a range of small citrus, olive and fig trees, fresh herbs and flowering plants for presents. Since this involves a fair degree of sophistication in packaging and delivery as well as the usual search engine and pay per click issues we use it as our laboratory for the e-business advice that we give in the other businesses.

Background

We are here to help you become successful. If you are curious where this material comes from most of it is a mixture of things we learned in 15 years as owner managers of 2 IT Value added resellers supplemented by 8 years developing business training programmes for SMEs for both publicly funded organisations like the DTI as well as private companies large and small.

I hope we may be of some help to you, let us know what you think and what you'd like to see more of here. or ring me on 0845 094 0407.

Best Wishes with your journey

Dr Alan Rae

By the way, in case you're worried about our qualifications, I am a Chartered Marketer, Technology Means Business Accredited Adviser, Associate of the Market Research Society and on the Business Link National Register of Consultants.

But 15 years as MD of a small but successful IT business is worth more.
