Chris Small: ABC Business Sales CEO on the MYOB report revealing the increasing work for SMEs

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Signs of growing positivity from New Zealand's small and medium sized businesses.   A new report from MYOB reveals that 33% of SMEs polled have more work or sales lined up for the first quarter than usual, and a further 40% say they have the amount they’d normally expect.  The green shoots are showing up in sectors that have struggled of late, including manufacturers, retail, and construction.  ABC Business Sales CEO Chris Small told Mike Hosking the vibe is incredibly positive, especially in comparison to the last two years.  He says that this time last year they had high volumes of business owners saying their earnings were down and they weren’t going to take their business to market, but now those business owners are reporting strong previous quarters.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
