Help in turbulent times

I am sure that most, if not all of us, are pleased to see the end of 2008 but look forward with some degree of trepidation, toward 2009. Small businesses in general are having a tough time, but, small regulated businesses have additional minefields to pass safely through in 2009.

We are living in turbulent times and for the smaller, directly regulated IFA this means that the provision of resources and relationship points with many product providers will look more diluted than ever.

Panacea’s version 2, with the support of our sponsor firms, has set out to address this problem by providing easy access, in one place, to tools, resources, training, business ideas and more.

But in turbulent and troubled times the most overlooked resource is one that money cannot buy. That resource is peer community support and you can access the vast wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise held by more than one thousand active Panacea members. Use the forums to debate issues of common concern, request help, and bounce ideas off like minded individuals.

Providers involved with Panacea want to provide you with more resource support. We rely on you to tell us what you need to have to run your businesses smarter, i.e. help with marketing, RDR, the impact of badly thought out regulation etc. The firms involved with Panacea care greatly about you, working together is the key to seeing your business flourish.

Send us your thoughts, ideas, concerns today via the forum and let us all see, in 2009, the benefits a free community like Panacea can bring to your business and your clients.
