You can't seem to turn on your TV, open a newspaper without the dire situation of our economy being reported everywhere you look. This has seen the decline of SME's across the UK, as it is reported 57 per cent of small businesses are experiencing rising costs, with 51 per cent reporting lost customers, with this happening, it really is a case of survival of the fittest for SME's nationwide.

Over the last few months Activ have been looking at ways to work with SME's across the UK to help fight back against this now global recession and now have a range of products and services to ensure businesses can not only survive in the recession but thrive!

The range of services offered by Activ include website design, search engine optimisation, online advertising to name a few.

Activ have aimed their services at the small business market and offer affordable solutions that any business can afford.

Simon and Dillon, the founders of Activ, explain in more detail: “When we started Activ the global recession was just around the corner and we know how tough it is to survive when businesses across the World are failing on a daily basis, we know how small businesses feel and we offer a range of services that can help to grow a business and make it more profitable in turbulent economic times. The reality out there is that a lot of SME's are struggling, it is important the services Activ provide benefit businesses now. All services Activ provide are priced with the business in mind, high quality services at the most cost effective price."

Small businesses tend to be wary of getting their business online, concerned about not understanding how it all works and how much it is going to cost, the price of a website for a small business can run in to several thousand pounds.

Activ offer a complete website solution for a small business at a price no small business can afford to be without, for just £499 you get a professional website complete with domain name, hosting and email accounts but best of all, Activ talk to small businesses ‘In a language they understand' without the traditional techno-talk adopted by most web design companies.

Dillon Boivin continues: “I have been selling websites for many years and have always talked to businesses in a language they understand, a website is not just a website, it should be a complete marketing tool for a small business that enables them to save money, save time and make more money. We have 100's of satisfied customers who have seen fantastic business growth through working with Activ to increase their online exposure”.

Activ now have offices in the UK and Spain and hope to have a base in Australia in early 2010, ensuring the fantastic growth of the business continues across the globe.

Simon Rickett concludes: “It has been fantastic seeing small businesses flourish through working with Activ and we hope to offer our services to a wider global audience over the coming years”.
