INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Joseph Meuse

On this week’s segment Price and Meuse discuss the unique advantages small businesses enjoy against large ones. Beyond the topics in the segment, check out the following:

 

Agility and Flexibility: Small businesses can adapt to changes in the market more quickly than larger corporations. They can adjust their strategies, processes, and offerings rapidly, allowing them to stay competitive.

Personalized Customer Service: Smaller companies often have the capacity to offer more personalized and attentive customer service. They can build stronger relationships with their customers, leading to higher customer loyalty.

Niche Focus: Small businesses can specialize in niche markets or specific products/services. This allows them to become experts in their field, catering to a specific audience that may be overlooked by larger corporations.

Innovation and Creativity: Smaller teams often have a more entrepreneurial spirit, which can lead to more innovative solutions and creative approaches to problems.

Lower Overheads and Costs: Small businesses generally have lower operating costs than larger ones. They don’t have the same level of administrative and overhead expenses, which can lead to higher profit margins.

Local Market Expertise: Small businesses are often deeply rooted in their local communities. They have a better understanding of local customer preferences, culture, and trends, which can be a significant advantage.

Owner Involvement and Passion: Small business owners are often deeply invested in their ventures and are passionate about what they do. This level of commitment can lead to a higher level of dedication and attention to detail.

Quick Decision-Making: With fewer layers of bureaucracy, small businesses can make decisions more quickly. This allows them to seize opportunities and respond to challenges in a timely manner.

Strong Company Culture: It’s often easier for small businesses to create a strong and cohesive company culture. This can lead to a more engaged and motivated workforce.

Close-Knit Teams: In smaller companies, employees often work closely together, which can foster a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This can lead to increased productivity and a more positive work environment.

Adaptability to Customer Feedback: Small businesses can more easily incorporate customer feedback into their products or services. This responsiveness can lead to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Less Bureaucracy and Red Tape: Small businesses generally have fewer bureaucratic processes to navigate, allowing for quicker decision-making and a more streamlined operation.

Ability to Build Personal Relationships with Suppliers and Partners: Small businesses often work closely with a smaller pool of suppliers and partners. This can lead to stronger, more personalized relationships, potentially resulting in better deals and collaboration opportunities.

After years on Wall Street, Joseph Meuse created Business GPS because he was looking to use his experience and business acumen to help struggling businesses. Enter COVID-19, and his company is helping hundreds of businesses get government loans, decrease their commercial rental payments, negotiate their loans to better terms – all on contingency.  It is a unique business model, where Business GPS gets paid at the end of the process.

A serial entrepreneur over the past 30 years, Mr. Meuse has started and built over a dozen successful businesses and in the process has also helped thousands of other US companies execute on their business plans. Sectors of experience span financial services, investment banking, accounting and finance, IT, business consulting and legal services, giving Joe a broad perspective on best business practices and how they can be most effectively transferred across categories.  As a thought leader in business transformation and financial management, Mr. Meuse has been a regular contributor on TV and radio, including CNN, CNBC and Fox.
