Frequently asked questions

How much should a small business spend on marketing?
A common guide is 5–10% of revenue, weighted toward what you can measure. Start with one or two channels, track cost per enquiry, and scale only what's proven to work.
Is SEO still worth investing in?
Yes — organic search remains one of the highest-ROI channels for most local businesses. Expect four to six months before results compound, and be wary of anyone guaranteeing instant rankings.
What insurance does a small business need?
Public liability is the baseline for most businesses. Add professional indemnity if you give advice, and consider cyber cover if you store customer data. An insurance broker usually costs you nothing.
How do I choose between suppliers?
Compare total cost rather than headline price: include delivery, minimum orders, payment terms and reliability. A supplier who answers the phone when something goes wrong is worth a small premium.
When is the right time to hire?
Hire when the role pays for itself — either by directly generating revenue or by freeing you to do work that does. Document the process before hiring so training doesn't stall the business.
