I was having a browse around the Internet and in particular at the Frontline-Results.com blog of Louise Barnes Johnston.
Louise is putting me to shame because she is using BlogTalkRadio to bring valuable information to small business owners.
She's now up to broadcast 39 and it includes someone I know - and indeed help to promote - Judith Astles of JMA Solutions.
Judith is what I call a "part time Finance Director" and helps small and medium sized businesses to get to grips with their finances and cash flow.
The interview between Louise and Judith is today October 26th 2009 at 17:30 GMT and it will be recorded and available for later listening.
Better Financial Control With Less EffortThis is the promotion for the radio show.
"‘Managing the finances is the job that most business owners like least.
It takes them outside their comfort zone. They feel frustrated and even
angry that they don’t have the necessary skills to address all the
financial issues arising in their business.’ So says my guest Judith
Astles.
Following an impressive corporate career with such companies as
SAGA and Zurich Insurance, she has now turned her attention to setting
up the management-reporting framework for a number of small businesses and has helped save a company from insolvency by producing a financial
plan that matched their marketing plan and conviction that the business
was viable. Show notes, links and additional resources can be found at
the Show Blog (after the show) http://frontline-results.com/radio"

Improving your financial control is such an important area and while Friday's statistics show that the recession continues, making trading difficult, things are likely to get even worse for small businesses when the economy returns to growth.
It's especially true for cyclical companies that exaggerate the economic trends because growth requires additional financing to support it and there is little sign that the small business credit availability has improved significantly - the bankers seem want the money for themselves.
