Waltham Forest Small Business Is A Big Hit On The Net
David Davis, managing director of Small Business Resource Ltd says, "small business owners must learn to overcome any potential fear they may have of the technology as the opportunities for developing their business and communicating with clients on the Internet is enormous."

We currently rank higher that multinational companies; with million pound budgets, this demonstrates how the internet is a great leveller. We receive enquiries from business owners worldwide. We are currently helping to build businesses in USA, Pakistan, Kuwait and Australia. All this at zero cost of acquisition.

Without the Internet, this would be impossible! An area of great interest to business owners is grants. This is a minefield that calls for good navigational skills. with 1,600 grants, we have developed relationships with grant experts who
assist small businesses to secure grant funding. Small business owners are very busy but they need to keep abreast of legal directives and other changes that affect their
business. We therefore provide a monthly newsletter that allows owners to keep up to date and to improve their business skills. As new grant funding initiatives are announced, such as £14 million service to help London's established small businesses and start-ups in run down areas (announced July 2003) and £1 billion bonus for business friendly councils, (announced by John Prescott, July 2003), we can provide current information so that businesses can benefit. Cash flow is important to small businesses and where they are unaware of tax advantages, we point this out. For example, according to a new report by Microsoft Small Business, a large proportion of small companies in the UK are unaware of tax breaks on IT purchases, as announced by Gordon Brown in his 2003 budget.

Where your business is located and its size is immaterial when it comes to the Internet. The Internet has no bias; small businesses can reach a world wide market on a small budget and also rank higher than large corporations.
