Year 2013, H2
For the last few reports on our economic predictions, we haven’t been able to be very positive, even if we’ve been amazingly accurate.
Our recent predictions have expected the economy grow on the positive side of zero, which it has, and we think it will continue that way for the remainder of the year, and probably into the early part of 2014, at least.
But changes are afoot. The government has turned to face the economy, and improvements have been made, particularly in bureaucracy. There has also been wholesale change of focus by the government towards business and the taxpayer, offering something more of a go-get attitude.
America got over its fiscal cliff and shows slight signs of growth. But with the fall of Detroit to bankruptcy, there is clearly more problems to face across the country.
Europe continues to decline with no real effort to change course.
But the UK economy appears to be slowly changing course to one where business growth might become easily achievable. Our expectation is that this change of course will continue up until Election 2015, but we don’t see much growth happening over the next six months. The government’s constant need to borrow is the biggest sign that growth remains out of reach.

How do we help small businesses?
Every business can be improved. Either in terms of capacity, capability, turnover, funding, you name it. If you want your business to be improved, do give us a call.
When you do call, we will listen to you on the phone. If we have a quick answer for you we’ll tell you what it is.
But, more often than not, we’ll have to see your business for ourselves, so that we get clear about what’s going on. Because of other contracts we have, that usually happens at the weekend. We have a look around, get a detailed view of what’s going on, and we send you a report on what we think the opportunities are. We rarely charge more than an hour for that service.
As we get to know each other and work together more closely, we are likely to spend more time helping you develop your business. We always say what we think the fees will be up front. See some samples…
