8 Challenges Every Small Business Faces

by | Nov 30, 2017 | Accounting, Bookkeeping

Although there are a wide variety of business entities, and industries, there are some common issues that every business will run into at some point. The issues that we’re about to discuss won’t necessarily be devastating to your company, but they could prevent growth and prevent your company from reaching its goals. Since our modern world moves so fast, it’s more important than ever to be open to new ideas as a business owner and be quick to make decisions that will impact the future of your company.

Insecurity

The majority of people, whether it’s in their personal lives, or as a business owner, are terrified by the idea of uncertainty and insecurity. Because the world is so big and complex, we often feel more comfortable sitting in our own bubble and not striving to achieve anything. Although you may be able to find some success in your business without reaching outside of this comfort zone, you’ll most likely never see the success that you want to see. Due to global debt and economic struggles, it’s even easier to see the negative effects that insecurity is having on business owners.

Another significant issue with being insecure about your business or the industry is that it results in short-term goals. Sure, short-term goals are great, they’re actually essential for your business to thrive. However, it’s when they come at the expense of long-term goals that they become a problem. The thing is, short-term goals give us a sense of comfort because they’re typically easily achievable and can be tracked very easily. On the other hand, it’s very difficult to track your progress with long-term goals. It’s more difficult to set and focus on a long-term goal because it requires you to have accurate knowledge of your company’s financials and its place in the industry. The challenge for small businesses is to overcome that roadblock that’s preventing you from setting and achieving long-term goals, while at the same time, being able to consistently set and achieve short-term goals.

Administrative Overload

Administrative overload is one of those things that we talk and think about all the time but never do anything about. This is especially a serious issue for small businesses where things are constantly changing. Whether you’re in the start-up stages or you consider yourself a stable business at this point, you’re probably overwhelmed with work that needs to get done. But have you considered how you can eliminate some of this stress by hiring someone to take the burden off your shoulders?

As a business owner, it’s tempting to feel like we can handle all of our problems, but that simply isn’t the case. The problem here is that great employees don’t fall from the sky straight into your office, it’s difficult to find candidates that you feel would match your business goals and company culture. That’s why it’s even more crucial to start hiring sooner rather than later. Business owners who don’t start hiring early on often find themselves several years down the line with a severely understaffed company and nobody to contact. Another benefit is that a lot less stress will be put on you and you’ll be able to relax a little knowing that you don’t have to manage so many things at once.

Risk Management

Starting a business is a risk in and of itself, however, the biggest risks come with investing in resources once your company is up and running. Do you invest in that new piece of machinery that will make work easier or wait until you have enough money to pay for it with a little more security? It’s never easy to make big financial decisions, but it’s one of the major challenges business owners will make throughout their lives.
