Best Small Business Consulting Firm in Manhattan

The Competition
‍
It’s safe to say that if you’re trying to do business anywhere in the five boroughs, you’ll be trying to contend with several businesses. Considering there are 8 million people in this city and 220 thousand businesses, it is never easy to attract the attention of your target audience. How can you stand out?

This is definitely true in Manhattan, where you'll find the most businesses in the smallest possible area. How do you compete when there are so many people that are in the same field? Well, you'll have to stand out to show up.
‍
In a similar way, do you know how to target the market that you’re really looking for? And more than that, can you guarantee that it will recoup the budget of your marketing? These are just some of the questions you’ll need to ask yourself about your small business.

Hiring in Manhattan is Tough
‍
‍Hiring the right talent in New York City can be difficult. The majority of people in the city work at small businesses. So what does that mean? Well, you’re competing with most of the other businesses in the city for the same talent pool, which can be difficult. But at the same time, there are just as many potential employees that wouldn’t actually benefit your small business.

In Manhattan, you also have to consider how many people you'll be competing with. How can you make your job listing stand out against dozens of other options? What makes you different, or worth applying for?
‍
Finally, how do you make sure that you’re hiring the right people in the long run? In other words, you have to make sure that your employees are happy in the long run. But they also have to be the kinds of talent that you want to hold onto. This is another tough balance that you’ll need to keep in mind.  

Finding Real Estate isn't Easy

You know that old adage about finding real estate: the three most important things are location, location, and location. Whether starting or expanding your small business, you need the right location. When it comes to New York City, that is even harder considering how expensive real estate can be.

Also... it's Manhattan. The real estate world here is the most chaotic in the world. Can you get office space that gets customers in your door? A big enough area for you to house your inventory? And how much will it set you back?
‍
So how do you make all of this happen?

How do you beat the competition?

Let’s take this in two steps. First, we can consider the marketing aspect. Then we will look at standing out as a better option for your potential audience. Marketing is tough. It always involves either a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of stress, or some combination of the three. By making a marketing plan for yourself and your staff to follow, however, you can prepare for the future.

Knowing just how much you’ll be spending on marketing in a period and making sure that you have goals will keep your company focused on success. There are affordable solutions you can keep in mind as well.

The best part about Manhattan is that customer retention can be very high. Most New Yorkers are notorious for going to the same places again and again after they fall in love with one location. If you get people in the door, you can keep them coming back.
‍
How do you hire the right people?

Hiring the right people in Manhattan isn’t much different from hiring anywhere in the city. In Manhattan, you often need to keep in mind the role of transit. But other than that, you’re beholden to many of the same issues as everyone else. Job boards in Manhattan or working with local universities to find young talent can be really useful, and you can seek out people from all kinds of backgrounds.  
‍
Sometimes a fresher face is better because they can bring different perspectives to your company that you don’t already possess. Similarly, find out what your current employees want. Happy talent equals satisfied talent. Whether its flexible schedules, working from home, benefits, or something else; you can often find a way to make your employees happy in the long run.

How do you find the right real estate in Manhattan?

If you’re thinking of starting a small business, you’re going to be thinking about the cost to find a place. Small business loans can be very helpful in this regard. You might feel like you're starting your business behind the curve, but it's more important in the longer term to find a place worth surviving in.

If you’ve already been operating a small business and are looking to expand, you need to make sure that whatever location you’re traveling to fits your already targeted demographic. Will you be catering to the same clientele you’ve been handling, or will you be looking for a different kind of person entirely? No two businesses are the same, but you’re going to want to find a market that isn’t too different from what you’ve already found successful.
