As a change from blog posts written by Intelliga staff, I thought I would draw your attention to a great piece written by Fiona Bevan, who runs her own financial management company. Fiona's piece is excellent - short and to the point, it highlights some of the most important things that need to be right for a small business to thrive; the kind of fundamentals that can become neglected if you start to focus too much on the bottom line. Since Fiona has done such a good job I won't attempt to précis her article any further - you can find it here.
