For Small Business Owners
A business doesn't have to be big before it can position itself for bigger opportunities.
Positioning is not a reward for scale — it is how smaller businesses become credible candidates for bigger customers, partnerships, programmes and markets.
The real bottleneck
Good work that too few of the right people know about
Most small businesses I mentor do not have a quality problem. They have a clarity and visibility problem.
When your positioning is vague, every conversation starts from scratch. Pricing gets questioned, referrals are hard to describe, and larger buyers cannot tell whether you are the right fit.
We start by getting specific: who your business is genuinely for, what changes for them, and what evidence proves it. From there, credibility and visibility become practical tasks rather than vague ambitions.
I bring both sides of this work — research into how SMEs actually grow, and hands-on mentoring experience with more than 50 small businesses through an innovation programme and the UK Government Help to Grow: Management Programme.
