How We Assess Your SME Business
Every privately owned SME business can benefit from the help of an expert advisor who
- knows both how to apply the principles of good business management
- AND has a thorough understanding of the local business environment
Here at ROCG we do this by carrying out a comprehensive SWOT Analysis.
All businesses, yours included, follow a life cycle – the initial development and growth followed by an eventual decline and failure – UNLESS a planned series of corrections keeps the business tracking towards success. To make those corrections effectively you need to have
- a clear understanding of your external environment and
- a realistic evaluation of how the business itself functions i.e. its internal environment.

The External Environment – it’s not just the economy!
Your business is subject to the influences of the external environment. Significant events can be happening, yet be undetectable on a day-to-day basis. An assessment of the external environment will identify the opportunities for your business as well as the threats.
The Internal Environment – how well does it really work? A SWOT analysis helps find the answers
Your business has its strengths and weaknesses.
- Strengths make a business competitive
- Weaknesses place a business at a competitive disadvantage
- It is important to know and understand your strengths so that you can use them to your greatest advantage
- It is equally important to know your weaknesses so you can act to minimise their influence and work to overcome them.
Strategic Options – The Best Way Forward
To develop alternative strategic options requires an assessment of the current strategic position of the business. The identified opportunities and strengths of the business create a framework for evaluating a range of options. In some cases, the strategic options need to focus on ensuring that the threats and weaknesses faced by the business are mitigated.
