Kismet Services provides small business coaching and support services to a range of small companies. We spent more than 30 years running our own successful companies as well as working for large multi-nationals in a number of sectors. Through our consultancy company, we now help others to fill gaps in their skill base to coach and develop what they need. We also provide short-term support when an extra pair of hands is needed for a particular task.
We can support any business sector with general business principles but have specialist knowledge in the travel industry and supply chain/logistics.
As a small business entrepreneur, it is essential to be a “jack of all trades”. You must be able to turn your hand to anything the business might need. Our aim is to help small companies up their game to grow their business skills in-house and solve problems in a practical way. Every challenge has a solution and we take a practical approach to working out the best one for you. Our small business coaching and support can take whatever form is right you for.
