At Evergreen Awards, we are excited to announce SME Growth Hub as the recipient of the Best Business Planning Platform for SMEs in the US of 2025 award. This prestigious honor recognizes the company’s exceptional contribution to supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) through innovative and user-friendly business planning tools. SME Growth Hub has empowered entrepreneurs across industries to build solid business foundations and scale their operations with clarity and confidence.

A Vision Fueled by Personal Experience

Monique Richards, the founder of SME Growth Hub, brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to her work. Having grown up in a family of entrepreneurs, she witnessed the sacrifices and challenges that come with running a small business. However, it wasn’t until she began her own entrepreneurial journey that she truly understood the complexity and pressures faced by business owners.

Monique’s vision for SME Growth Hub was born from her own struggles to balance career, family, and running a business. She realized that many small business owners felt overwhelmed and isolated, with limited access to affordable expertise and guidance. With this insight, Monique sought to create a platform that would offer real, actionable resources to entrepreneurs who were not only seeking to survive but to thrive.

Addressing the Core Challenges Faced by SMEs

Small business owners face numerous obstacles, including feeling overwhelmed by wearing too many hats, lack of affordable expert advice, and the high risk of failure within the first five years. These challenges are often compounded by feelings of isolation and the absence of a structured plan or mentor to guide them through the complexities of business growth.

SME Growth Hub stands out by offering a solution to these challenges, providing clear, tailored, and practical business planning tools that help entrepreneurs cut through the noise. Instead of simply offering templates, the platform provides entrepreneurs with the support and clarity they need to make informed decisions and strategically grow their businesses.

Additionally, the platform’s project management tools are designed to save time and streamline operations, making it easier for SMEs to focus on scaling their businesses without getting bogged down by the details.

But the platform’s biggest differentiator is its sense of community. SME Growth Hub doesn’t just offer tools; it fosters a supportive environment where entrepreneurs can connect, collaborate, and grow together.
