Our DIFME articles aim to address a few of the challenges your business will face in line with the DIFME objectives.

If you think of yourself as financially illiterate, you are not alone. Many people struggle with knowing how to manage personal and business finance. Becoming financially literate does not happen overnight, nor is it accomplished by reading just one book. It happens through education, practical experience, and life lessons.

As technologies change, it is vital for businesses to innovate or be left behind. Internationalization can refer to a company that takes steps to increase its footprint or capture greater market share outside of its country of domicile by branching out into international markets. We live in rapidly changing times, especially for businesses. Businesses have had to adapt to entirely new marketing channels (web and social), decide how to invest in and utilise new technologies, and compete on a global stage — things that were barely imaginable to our parents’ and grandparents’ generations. No single person can be an expert in everything. This was, perhaps, always true, but it has never been more apparent.

The DIFME toolkit and SMEHub can help you appease some of these challenges.
