    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    Yes to the first point. And good point, well made, to your second.

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    That Rumsfield conundrum is a very good point. And yeah, I definitely should've looked back in the forums before posting this.

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    Yes, that's exactly the type of thinking we're going for - we want to empower small business and remove that bigger is better thinking. When we've dug deeper, seems a lot of small business owners feel the odds are stacked against them in favour of bigger companies. An example of that is which...

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    This is a great shout. It's those "wouldn't know existed" things I'm after. I'm going to dedicate a day to this. I should've thought about that rather than going straight to sending a vague post. Thanks

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    This is very interesting and just the kind of response I was hoping to get by being really vague... Do you have any examples of non-responsive agencies other than tax? And could you provide one or two examples of recent laws, just so I can get a feel of the problem? Thank so much. Appreciate it.

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    Wow, great response, probably mostly in reaction to how bad my post was... But that's good, it's helping me to learn. Thanks for not being too harsh... So I'll try to narrow scope, even though we're looking broader than this... What are your problems in terms of money matters? What financial...

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    :) Yeah I know, I'm deliberately leaving it vague so as to not steer it. Maybe it's too open. We're not focussed just on starting-up a business - though there are many problems there: EG raising capital, buying stock, negotiating payment terms etc - but it's also the ongoing running of a small...

    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    Hey. Quick note: this is not a marketing pitch - I won't mention the name of my company (it's not my username either). This is purely a request for information. I am a co-founder of a tech start-up. We are building a platform specifically aimed at helping small businesses prosper and thrive...

    How to get help with a product idea?

    Thanks for your reply Salifuj. We're past the brainstorm point. We know the pain points, we've built some prototypes that we think might solve those problems. What we're missing is feedback from potential users about whether they would use the product, feedback on the solutions, how much value...

    How to get help with a product idea?

    Thanks folks, I just started using the Usability Hub site, great suggestion. I’ve tried social media groups, asking for people to help with feedback on small business FB groups, tradesmen groups, but without exception, my posts get blocked by admins as spam. It’s strange as I’m sure there are...

    How to get help with a product idea?

    Hello. I am currently building a tech/digital product/app that is in-part aimed at small companies (1-10 employees). I'm getting to the point where I need to validate different approaches, features and solutions etc. The problem is I don't know how to get in-front of people to ask them...
