Services for Directors and Owners

As a business director or owner it’s essential you can identify and meet the core skills your business needs to be successful.

These skills will be the same whatever business you run – whether you’re a sole-trading builder or you head a manufacturing company employing dozens of people.

There are intangible skills you will need, such as leadership skills, the ability to cope with long hours and hard work, and the inner resources to deal with stress and risk-taking. They also include strategy-setting and the ability to build and manage a team.

There are also functional skills that all businesses need. The smaller your business, the more of these skills you will need personally:

• finance - including cashflow planning, credit-management and managing relationships with your bank and accountant
• marketing - including advertising, promotion and PR
• sales - including pricing, negotiating, customer service and tracking competitors
• procurement and buying - including tendering, managing contracts, stock control and inventory planning
• administration - including bookkeeping, billing, accounts preparation and payroll handling
• personnel - including recruitment, dispute resolution, motivating staff and managing training
• personal business skills - including computer, written and oral communication, and organisational skills

To run a successful business it’s essential you recognise the limits of your abilities. So, as a business owner or director you also need the skill to know when it is best to hand over tasks to others by either:

• delegating
• recruiting
• outsourcing
