Research by both the Institute for Independent Business and by several academic organizations has indicated that the small business sector requires not only information and advice in order to survive and grow, but also needs practical assistance, preferably from more mature business executives who have been there, done that. In order to be effective, a practical implementation phase was also required.
It was also evident that traditional consultants were inappropriate and generally unable or unwilling to fulfill this need, as their cost structures and style were generally not appropriate to the small business sector. Many mature business executives have excellent skills and knowledge which can be deployed in the small business sector, if only the correct means of delivery could be established.
