摘要：Many small and mid-size businesses rely on external advisors when specific business problems arise. The objectives of this study are threefold: I) to determine the most serious problems encountered by small and mid-size businesses. 2) to identify the external advisors must important in resolving the problems, and 3) to determine the amount of time a businessperson spends with these advisors. Overall, the respondents named accountants, lawyers, bankers, family members, and trade associations as their most favored advisors. The most critical problems identified by respondents were sales/marketing, personnel/recruiting, organization/administration, government regulations, and taxes.
