Orchard Growth Launches SMART Programme for Growth Businesses, Designed to Help Businesses Improve Financial Performance During Economic Downturn
Ash Mehta, CEO of Orchard Growth Partners, announces launch of the new SMART programme for growing businesses, and explains why companies can still grow in current economic conditions.
London, United Kingdom, November 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Orchard Growth Partners has officially launched its SMART programme, which aims to identify the steps that any business can take to improve its financial situation and give itself the best chance of success whatever the business climate may be. For more information call 0845 3700 303 or visit www.orchardgrowth.com.
Introducing the programme Ash Mehta, CEO of the professional services group that provides part-time finance directors to small and medium size businesses, said “It is too easy to get wrapped up in the gloom and doom that is surrounding the business world at present. Most businesses will have opportunities to grow and those that use this programme to take the initiative will put themselves in a great position to maximise these”.
Mehta also points to other positive signs, such as the vibrancy of the Plus Market - the new stock market which is rivalling AIM as first port of call for businesses wishing to float - and the fact finance providers remain willing to support well thought out and presented business plans as evidence that companies looking to expand and grow need not be restricted in the current climate.
The Orchard programme aims to identify the actions necessary to improve business and financial performance. These actions can then be carried out by companies using their own internal resources although Mehta suggests that there are major benefits in getting a fresh view from an outsider such as a non executive director or a flexible finance director by utilising their commercial business experience and financial management expertise.
As Mehta concludes “Companies with good financial planning and management will always be well placed to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there and progress regardless of the economic outlook. Our programme is there to help businesses succeed.”
