We came across this video about a small business owner in Kenya explaining how she was able to get through the finance bill protests. And get her first point. A website. This cannot be understated. In this day and age, having a website is not only a big businesses kind of affair Even as an SME owner, a website will help you to keep your business going during tumultuous occasions such as the protests we just had. Many businesses were not able to go on with business as usual. This led to loss off livelihoods. Loss of income. And in worst case scenarios. Businesses had to shut down completely. But with a website, you can still keep on receiving, and fulfilling your orders online. In the long run, you might not even need a physical location. The time to go online, was yesterday

Think Local, Buy Local, Act Local Five years ago, I wrote a column highlighting the importance of not only ensuring national and local government prioritise buying goods and services from Welsh firms but the imperative that we should all, as consumers, do our best to support local businesses. Fast forward to 2024 and it's now even more critical to support local small firms given that a study suggested that local retailers return up to 68% of their revenue to the local economy in the form of locally purchased wages, goods, services, profits and donations, whereas larger businesses spend only 43% locally. Given this, it would be good to see the Llywodraeth Cymru Economi | Welsh Government Economy finally committing to "Think Local, Buy Local, Act Local" campaign to help highlight why small firms should supported across the country at a time when they need every help possible. #buylocal #localbusiness #procurement

Government Revenue Diversification Vs. Alternative sources of funding In light of the protests in Kenya, many African nations are grappling with ways to generate funds to finance their expenditures. The pressing issue for leaders now is whether to diversify revenue or seek alternative sources of funding. #Government revenue #diversification and alternative sources of funding are related but distinct concepts. Government #revenue diversification focuses on the variety of income sources a government has. It's about enhancing #financial #stability and spreading out the reliance on any one source, like taxes, fees, or natural resources. #Alternative sources of #funding emphasizes finding new ways for the government to generate income. This could be entirely new #revenue streams, which could be used for specific projects or needs beyond regular budgetary sources or changes to existing ones, but it doesn't necessarily imply diversification. So, diversification inherently involves exploring alternative sources, but finding alternative sources doesn't always lead to diversification. For example, the government might find a new, more efficient way to collect property taxes. That's an alternative source, but it wouldn't necessarily diversify the revenue stream since it's still relying on taxes. While both aim to reduce financial risks and increase stability, diversification focuses on everyday income, while alternative funding often targets specific projects or investments. Got creative ideas for alternative funding? Share your thoughts and help shape our financial future!
