Starting a small business is exciting! You get to be your own boss, pursue your passion, and create something meaningful. But the journey isn’t always smooth sailing. Small businesses face a unique set of challenges that can hinder their growth and success.
According to a recent Forbes article (Forbes, 2024), financial constraints, skill and efficiency gaps, and navigating long-term goals are just a few obstacles that some small Austin and Waco businesses are encountering in their day-to-day operations. While these hurdles can be very challenging for a business to navigate, Exit Factor is a great resource to help guide business owners to maximize their profits and create long-term value.
