Is there a future for small, family-based businesses in Australia?
Manage episode 424449449 series 2343952
Clinton is joined by Barry Urquhart, a business strategist and consumer analyst at Marketing Focus, about whether there is a future for small, family-based businesses in Australia?
Mr Urquhart reveals that the majority of Australia's 2.5 million small businesses are family-owned and operated, many of which are micro-sized with five or fewer employees.
The COVID lockdowns, coupled with current cost-of-living and business challenges, have severely impacted this sector. Aging business owners face daunting realities:
- Small business values have declined or disappeared.
- Retirement plans are postponed.
- Succession within families is uncertain.
- Cash-flow problems and squeezed margins have dampened enthusiasm.
- Technological advances have made many products and services obsolete. Decisions ahead are tough and critical.
