In the public sector, Dr. Green has managed multi-million-dollar projects as well as conducted more than 100 organizational evaluations. He realizes the struggles are for both small and large businesses as it has been stated by SBA. Sure, the problems struggled need to be diagnosed and overcome. Therefore, there are the eight most important checkup questions to ask when someone is intended to build up his or her small business before entering the year 2019.
