Opinion bubble? | The less-known entrepreneur
https://smepartners.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/opinion-bubble
The story of SMEs off the beaten path. I don’t know anyone who has read any piece of legislation, aside from lawyers and politicians – even most journalists are limited to highlighting pundits’ sound bites (respect to the few exceptions). Curiously, despite the “mistrust” most proclaim of lawyers and politicians, many folk are comfortable taking “authoritative” positions on this or that bill, which is fine I guess, as in the end it’s still likely a leap of faith.

The story of SMEs off the beaten path. What is an SME? Leave a comment ». But, what is. According to Wikipedia, an SME. Is classified by the number of people it employs.

https://smepartners.wordpress.com/2007/08/03/credito-bancario
The story of SMEs off the beaten path. Sigo evaluando planes de negocio…. En esta ocasión quiero hacer algunas recomendaciones sobre “el financiamiento”. A pesar de que he trabajado mucho con empresarios y emprendedores, todavía me sorprende el grado de desconocimiento que hay en el mercado sobre las fuentes de financiamiento.
