Working closely with fledgling small businesses over the years, it’s fair to say that we’ve seen some...well, interesting business practices. From trendy desk setups to quirky company attitudes, it’s tempting to run your company in a unique manner. However, even the coolest and most cutting-edge business ideas might actually be more antiquated than you think. [...]
Time isn’t going any slower, and that’s especially the case for entrepreneurs, investors, and small business owners. Progressively inching closer and closer to a technology-oriented economy, 2018 could show some interesting trends and developments in the way of launching a small business.
