Should the HBN newsletter hammer Business Link?
Its all very well hammering Business Link but like all Govt initiatives they have a sell by date and Business Link is well past its best. The Government just can't / won't find the money to provide the quality of hands on help needed by the SME community.
Websites like this are all very well - but have an even lower profile and are just as prolific as the Govt initiatives which compounds the problem even further. Forums rely on participation, and the vast majority of SME's don't participate so even self help won't deliver.
The Business Link website is the best its ever been and is the only way to reach the mass of SME's out there. individual advisers just can't logistically reach all the SME's. It has to be done on a one to many model.
I appreciate this is a fragmented response but many people have tried to find the optimal model for supporting the small business community and failed. The market is just too big and too fragmented to help in any meaningful way.
As an ex Business Link mentor I have been there and tried.
