SME Insight is the first magazine that is designed primarily f
or the informational needs of managers and owners of small and medium enterpris
es. And itâs about time! SMEs are responsible for more than 90 percent of all b
usiness transactions in the country today, and the majority of their owners and
managers are hungry for tools that can make their managerial tasks easier.
In September of 2006, the first issue of SME Insight was released to much accla
im. Finally, here was a magazine that genuinely seeks to give its readers a tru
e business education that is easy to read, is easy to grasp, and is easy on the
eyes!
For those who believe that magazines are not just for entertainment but can be
a true medium for information and education as well, then SME Insight is proof
positive that this can be done.
What sets the magazine apart:
SME Insight speaks to the people in management, or to the people who genuinely
want to be in management. This means that when it comes to teaching people how
to manage a business, the level and depth of information that can be found in e
ach issue of SME Insight is far richer than can be found in other magazines.
And yet, despite this commitment to depth of information, each issue of SME Ins
ight is a visual feast that makes reading an enjoyable affair. This is the best
-dressed business magazine in the country today. Itâs young, itâs hip, and itâs
even funâ???and yet when it comes to the content, itâs all about the business.
Notable sections:
*Feature stories* â Insights straight from the mouths of successful SME owners

*Toolbox* â Helpful tips and management tools on the different aspects of runni
ng a business
*Columns* â Some of the countryâs best SME authorities share what they know
