While small businesses abound, managing a small business is no small feat. Small business managers have to wear many hats, especially at the start-up phase. This means that they must be adept at assuming or managing several functional areas and handling different tasks such as planning, organizing, executing, producing, supporting, marketing, sales, accounting, hiring, supervising, and other responsibilities.
