A recent FinanceHeads poll, which surveyed a cross-section of SMEs around the country, revealed mixed feelings over the possible effects of the election. 55% of respondents believed it would have a direct impact on their business. Despite this, however, it has been business as usual for 95% of respondents in recent weeks, with only a small minority considering delaying important decisions until after the election.
On a day to day level, of course, there will be very little change immediately but the changes will be felt over time – and it’s these long term effects that many are worried about. There are plenty of things that businesses can be doing in the meantime, though, to take charge of their own fortunes and to help combat any negatives that might be coming their way.
Now is an ideal time for entrepreneurs to be evaluating their business objectives and identifying ways to make their money work harder and more efficiently and of course a FinanceHead can help with this!
