Computer Consulting: Working With Micro Businesses

Working with micro businesses is a great way to get your business started, but should you keep working with them during later stages of running your business? The answer really comes down to margins.

Let's say you bill $2,000 a year for a small client and have to eat a $500 project – that's a big deal On the other hand, if you're billing a larger client $10,000 a year, then that $500 project isn't really a problem. Your profit margin should be the basis of your decision.

Focus most of your time on developing larger, sweet spot clients, and as you grow, you will have no choice but to start letting some of the smaller projects go in order to meet the needs of your larger clients.
