Greetings from PA 2 GO - providing virtual assistance for your business. A significant dilemma facing small to medium business owners and managers is the precious time spent working IN your business rather than ON your business.

The main culprit? Those often dreaded, but all important, administrative "to do's".

On any given day in your business there are always a million and one jobs that need to be done. Wouldn't it be great if you had the experience and the expertise available right when you needed it? Things would get done with the minimum of fuss, leaving you to get on with building your business.

As your Executive Assistant, my office is your office! At last someone dedicated to you and your business that you can delegate to with confidence! By knowing you and your business I can act quickly on your instructions, reducing your stress and the time YOU spend doing administrative tasks; and if you need more hands on assistance, I come to you.

Function Accessories is a hire business.

We hire out an extensive range of linen, chair covers and accents in many colours for weddings, conferences, dinners and basically and event that requires a fantastic looking table!

Here are a couple of examples of our work, see our website for more information.

As a Money Managers financial adviser and franchisee, Brenda Whitehead is well placed to provide you with personalised professional financial advice on investments, insurance and estate planning.

Brenda has an extensive background in accounting practices and small business management, having spent most of her working life in this area. Her passion for finance prompted her to join Money Managers, first as a client services officer, then financial adviser and now franchisee.

Do you want to spend more time with your family? ... or gardening, shopping or catching up with friends?

Most of us live on the Hibiscus Coast for the lifestyle - however when running a small to medium business sometimes the business begins to run our lives.

Nearly every small business owner we meet today is facing one of two problems. They are either not making enough money or secondly it’s a complete nightmare in terms of systems and keeping it all going.

What we do is help business owners work their way out of the day to day grind by implementing systems that increase their cash flow and free them from having to be there. We focus on:

• How to get more customers
• How to convert enquiries into sales
• How to increase the average sales value
• How to keep customers coming back

Most people are so busy working in their business that they simply don’t have time to work on their business. Backbone Marketing personnel help you focus, think strategically about your business and implement proven strategies that are measurable and work.

Who would you be working with?

Jane Finlayson has 20 years experience in sales and marketing and has operated Backbone Marketing for over 5 years. Her expertise and knowledge has been sought out particularly in the rural and veterinary sectors. She has worked with and for multinational companies as well as small to medium NZ businesses.

Recently her husband Darren Henare has joined Backbone Marketing after years in the travel industry (where his experience has covered everything from sales to IT and operations roles) when they were granted the license to use Better Business Institute’s (BBI) tried and proven Business Growth Strategies and products.
