Another year end is upon us, and there is much discussion on what the trends in business will be for 2017.
Inc.com’s recent article, 10 Business Trends That Will Grow in 2017, gave a pretty good synopsis of what could be coming our way next year. From technology, branding, hiring and training to the continued trend of baby boomers selling their businesses, this is a good list for both small and mid-sized businesses. It is worth taking some time over the holidays to think about these trends, and others you may research yourself, and how they will affect your business for 2017.
Of course, it is always a challenge to predict what will happen, but a lot of the changes detailed in the article have already begun. The challenge is to recognise them, understand how they can impact your business and act on them to keep your business thriving.
No matter what 2017 holds for your business, the new year is a good time to take stock of where it stands and how you might increase its overall value next year and into the future. The first step is to take just 15 minutes to respond to our on-line Value Builders questionnaire at http://visit.osborne-group.com/. Your answers will generate an immediate and detailed report examining 8 key factors that impact the value of your business. When your report based on data from thousands of similar businesses is received, one of our Value Builder consultants will make an appointment to meet with you to share the results and discuss its recommendations on how you might improve your overall business effectiveness while increasing its value to potential buyers.
