According to a Balboa Capital survey that was conducted to gauge how small business owners utilize technology, seven in 10 small business owners say their companies became more dependent on various technology platforms in the past 12 months. The survey also reveals that nine in 10 small business owners think technology plays an important role in the success of their companies.
“The results of our survey indicate that small businesses across the country are relying on technology like never before,” said Carla Freberg, vendor services manager at Balboa Capital. “Cloud software, mobile devices, and customer relationship management systems are just some of the many tools and technologies that are enabling small businesses to be more efficient and communicate more effectively with their customers and prospects.”
Although Balboa Capital’s survey results show that a significant percentage of small businesses are using technology, adapting to the latest advancements can be challenging due to time and financial constraints.
“Many of our survey respondents said time management and insufficient capital are two reasons they haven’t been able to upgrade their existing technologies, or invest in emerging tech solutions,” Freberg said. “We can provide small business owners with quick funding to lease all types of technology equipment. Our simple approval requirements and speed of processing help reduce the time it takes to acquire technologies that can help drive growth and long-term success.”
