The idea for Business Achievers comes from an Ulster Bank initiative when we went and talked to hundreds of businesspeople and asked them about the types of business supports they most valued. The majority said that they valued the insights of other businesspeople the most. We came up with business-achievers.com (formerly smallbusinesscan.com), a site run by businesspeople for businesspeople. The site allows you to talk with thousands of other small businesses and entrepreneurs. You can share insights, ask questions, tell war stories, pass on contacts and find new ways to promote your business. It’s SMEs that will lead our economies out of recession. Here you will find a generous community of people that are not only getting the heads down and focussing on growth, but they’re also willing to share with and help others. Please get involved. We’re all in this together and we can get out of this together.
