Turn challenges into opportunities in 2012

For SMEs, 2012 presents many challenges - or an array of exciting opportunities - depending on how you look at it. Haines Watts advocates that the only way to deal with tough times is to tackle them positively, to stay ahead of the competition.

Rodney Style, Partner at the Oxford office of Haines Watts says, "We work with a wide range of different people across the whole spectrum of business types and sizes and the characteristics that stand out with the most successful of clients is their unfailing ability to remain positive and focused, whatever life throws at them. These traits are obvious in the young entrepreneurs we mentor – drive and determination are what make them achievers - they and their fellow business owners don't have time to be negative."

Tara Burn, winner of the Haines Watts Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2011, exemplified the energy, proactivity and diverse thinking needed to achieve in today's demanding marketplace.

Rodney adds, "No one can do it all on their own - concentrate on areas where you can use your strengths and get help from others who excel in things you are weaker at. Haines Watts offers business health checks to identify what businesses need to address to ensure they are one step ahead. We can provide support in all areas, from financial planning and complying with legislation to marketing and time management for example."

Haines Watts will shortly be launching the 2012 Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. Details will be announced in the press and on the web at www.hwye.co.uk
