Small and Medium-sized Enterprises or SMEs are companies whose headcount or turnover falls below certain limits. The current EU definition categorises companies with fewer than 50 employees as "small", and those with fewer than 250 as "medium". P.S.

I'm new to all this stuff and am thinking about a site for my new business. I just assumed as soon as my site was complete it would be on the search engines. How long does it take to appear on Google and is it the same for the other search engines you've mentioned? Libby Hi,

Great site! I’m new to all this stuff and am thinking about a site for my new business. I just assumed as soon as my site was complete it would be on the search engines. How long does it take to appear on Google and is it the same for the other search engines you’ve mentioned?

It is the most cost effective way to expand my business globally. As high profile gold & silver electroplaters we need to expand our business on a national and international scale. We recognise that it is the smarter way to do business, where the power of the Internet allows us to generate the customers we require as the most rapid source available to-date. My main message to businesses would be, don't think you are too busy to do this, or why do I need to expand? Whilst you are lost in your thoughts and questioning your mind, you have competition creeping around your business roots. Before long it will be too late and you will be unable to launch a successful fight back quick enough. The rest will be history. Your Internet business will not be an overnight success, that for sure; it needs to grow just as your business originally did. The proof is out there; just don't get left on the sidelines wondering what happened. 24 million UK customers who shopped online in 2005 generating sales of £249,000,000,000 can't all be wrong, can they?
