How Small Business Affects a Country's Economy

  • Written by Emma Mason


The economic interest, energy, and ingenuity of enterprising business people actively contribute to progress in all areas of human life. Therefore, most developed countries encourage their business in many ways, and particularly, in the registration and taxation of new small enterprises which are diverse in their specializations and directions.

As the experience of developed countries shows, small to medium businesses play a very significant role in the economy. Their development affects the economic growth of the country, acceleration of scientific and technological progress, production of goods of the required quality, and creation of new jobs. Small businesses can solve many pressing economic, social, and other issues.

In most countries, the state supports small businesses. Entrepreneurship can and should act as one of the factors of intensive economic growth. For the economy as a whole, small companies are an essential factor in increasing its flexibility. International experts determine the country's ability to adapt to a changing economic environment by the level of the development of small business.

Small Business in a Modern Economy

Entrepreneurship is a type of business activity aimed at making a profit. It is based on self-initiative, responsibility, and innovation. The initial stage of entrepreneurship is usually associated with an idea.

Small business needs an innovative aspect, be it manufacturing of a new product, a transformation of business activity, or the foundation of a new enterprise. A new system for managing production, supervising product quality, and implementing new technologies are also innovative solutions.

The central part of a small business is the entrepreneur. Among the most important goals of a business owner are producing new products and services, earning money, gaining prestige, and developing their venture. The entrepreneur must interact with consumers, as well as the state, which can act as a supporter or adversary.

Consumers play the role of an indicator of the business process. Everything that makes up the entrepreneur's activity is relevant only in case of a positive reaction from customers. Their attitude is reflected in the readiness to purchase a particular product. The business people, when planning and organizing their activities, can in no way ignore the moods, desires, interests, expectations, and evaluations of consumers.

Key Features of Small Business

The most evident feature of small business is a relative autonomy and independence. The internal motives of entrepreneurs are driving their behavior and actions. Each person, when becoming a businessman or a businesswoman, independently solves all the issues related to their venture, taking into account the economic benefits and market conditions.

The principles of personal economic interest and responsibility are closely tied with the entrepreneur's independence. Profit is a driving force for business, but every company has to work for the society, besides pursuing individual interests. In current conditions, the personal goals of an entrepreneur are intertwined with the collective interest of an enterprise.

Being independent, the small business owner assumes personal responsibility for the result. Also, individual interests, in combination with responsibility, force an entrepreneur to work in harsh and time-consuming conditions.

We can't imagine business without innovation and creative exploration. Only those who provide a high quality of products and services, and continuously update their products can work effectively. An ability to wisely assess the situation, make innovative decisions, and invent creative approaches is always highly appreciated in the business world.

Another characteristic of small business is an economic risk. This risk always accompanies entrepreneurs while provoking the need to think, analyze, and act in a particular way. The market conditions require companies and people to be efficient, dynamic, and competitive.

How Do States Support Small Business?

In general, countries with developed market economies attach special importance to supporting small businesses. When analyzing the experience of the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, and also former socialist countries, such as Hungary and Poland, it is fair to claim that measures were undertaken everywhere to improve the self-development potential of small companies.

World's best commercial work space set to launch in Brisbane

  • Written by Tess Sanders Lazarus


Investment and property development company Wallum Partners is taking on the task of revamping a 1980s office space in inner Brisbane into a fully refurbished, all ability friendly, sustainable commercial office building.

 

Wallum Partners has over 35 years of experience in the industry. It has developed projects in the ACT, Queensland, New South Wales and the United States of America. Marcel Russ is working with David Solomon and Simon Heathcote of Wallum Partners on this project.

 

“Our goal is to convert this highly visible and incredibly iconic riverside commercial office building from an outdated and unloved asset into a sustainable and cutting-edge working environment that will hopefully set the tone for refurbished commercial office spaces in Brisbane and indeed the whole country,” Russ said.

 

“We have a lot of fun working on these types of projects. These projects really allow us to push the envelope. We want to show that every office space has the potential for growth, transformation and a high degree of functionality.

 

“We’re taking inspiration from some of the world’s most beautiful and sustainable office spaces. The directors are constantly seeking inspiration from ambitious and cutting-edge projects both domestically and overseas.”

 

The building purchased in an off-market transaction by Wallum Partners in early 2020 is located at 159 Coronation Drive, just minutes outside of the Brisbane CBD. The entire asset consists of two four level buildings with 130 parking spaces and 5,200 square metres of office space.

 

According to Russ, he and the team at Wallum want to upgrade the asset into a leading sustainable and environmentally friendly office space that will not only redefine the benchmark for workability but also embrace the needs of people with all abilities including those with physical challenges.

 

“There’s a lot riding on our success. A lot of people believe it’s too difficult to bring 21st century sustainable standards to old buildings. They think it’s easier to just knock down an old building down and start again,” Russ said.

 

“We want to show that that’s not actually necessary. A lot can be done with older buildings, whether it’s an office space or your own home. In fact, many older buildings have extraordinarily good bones.  We’re really looking forward to seeing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of the building. We think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised.”

 

Russ and the team at Wallum have engaged a number of consultants and organisations to help them revitalise the old office space. The project is being backed by Stamford Capital and Quintet Partners Partnership Platform. 

Were currently deciding on an appropriate solar system to improve the building’s performance, making upgrades to the air conditioning, lifts, installing carbon sensors, low energy lighting, basement upgrades, painting the building and ensuring water efficiency measures are in place,” Russ added.

 

Were transforming the landscaping by working with Oculus, world leading landscape designers to deliver a beautiful ground plane around the building. We’re also working with Fender Katsalidis, world renowned Architects, to upgrade lobbies, bathrooms, balconies, as well as the building’s façade and entrances.

 

“In addition, we are also incorporating end of trip facilities and investigating the possibility of also adding power stations for electric cars, bikes and scooters. All this will bring the building up to a world class standard making it a most inclusive, thoughtful, productive and inspiring refurbished workspace.”

 

The Wallum Partners team is determined to redefine what is possible in terms of sustainable commercial asset refurbishment.

 

“Accessibility is a core part of this project. This building was created during a time when accessibility factors weren’t considered. We’re going to add ramp access, improve layout and placement of fittings and fixtures, and also convert old tea rooms into all abilities bathrooms,” Russ said.
