Is Your SME Thriving or Just Surviving?

Running an SME can feel like spinning plates. You’re juggling people, clients, finances, and the constant pressure to grow; all while navigating an uncertain economy. It’s easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day that you lose sight of the bigger picture.

That’s why we created the SME Health Check, a free 10-minute tool designed to give business leaders instant clarity on where their company stands today, and where growth opportunities might be hiding.

Why We Built It

Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of ambitious SMEs. Time and again, we’ve seen the same pattern: businesses often don’t know what they don’t know. They may be strong in one area, but blind spots in another can quietly hold them back or even pose risks they’re unaware of.

We wanted to create a simple way for SME leaders to quickly take stock, get a balanced view across all areas of their business, and uncover insights they can act on straight away.

What the Health Check Covers

The Health Check looks at three key areas every SME needs to master:

People – Your team is your growth engine. Are you building the right culture, structures, and capabilities to scale?

Brand – Beyond logos and websites, brand is about how you’re seen and remembered. Is your message cutting through, and are you attracting the right clients?

Business Growth – From sales to strategy, is your growth plan realistic, resilient, and set up to deliver results?

By answering a series of straightforward multiple-choice questions, you’ll get an instant, personalised report highlighting your business’ strengths, surfacing hidden risks, and suggesting opportunities to accelerate growth.

Why It Matters

Too often, SMEs only pause to reflect when something goes wrong. A key client leaves. A competitor gets ahead. Staff turnover spikes. By then, the damage is already done.

The SME Health Check flips that on its head. It’s proactive, not reactive. It gives you the insights to anticipate challenges, build on what’s working, and move forward with confidence.

Quick, Practical, and Free

The best part? It takes just 10 minutes. No jargon, no complicated scoring, no fluff. Just a clear, practical snapshot of where your business stands today.

Whether you’re thriving and want to stay ahead, or you feel like you’re surviving day to day, the SME Health Check is your starting point for clarity and action.

Take the Health Check today and unlock your bespoke business report in minutes.
