A Message from the Founder
     
Sandipan Ray, Editor, SMB Connect  

A change, a transition always demands perseverance and patience, any revolutionary endeavor calls for a sense of responsibility. I welcome you all to this month’s Newsletter with keeping these words in great importance.

Our organization SMBConnect has always worked to put the best foot forward in order to facilitate the growth of the business sector. It is with this conviction and motto we decide the theme for every segment and our team works to bring you the latest and the best resources.

With a major transition in country’s taxation system; implementation of GST has created a sense of anxiety and uncertainty in all the sectors of the country. Various questions and doubts still stand unanswered, and so we are here with all the latest GST updates, FAQs and benefits pertaining to each sector to help achieve a layer of clarity and a sense of ease.

Sharing how SMBConnect stands GST ready, our very first step was to ensure the best training for our finance team and upgrade our accounting/financial software accordingly. Businesses need to be GST compliant, there is no other way around it at this hour. The only advice I can provide is to make the best of the opportunity, at a time when the questions are rampant and criticism at the peak, be the one to look above it and get your documentations and processes ready as per the terms. Will again want to take your attention to my starting note “any revolutionary endeavor calls for sense of responsibility”.

Amidst these myriad of changes, we stand even stronger and with great pride would like to announce that, SMBConnect is now partner with Digital India for upcoming flagship event – START.MANAGE.EXPAND Season 4.

Once again, we are immensely appreciative of your significant feedbacks each month. Keeping the positive practice intact, your valuable comments are most welcome on info@smbconnect.in

Best Wishes,
Sandipan Ray
Director, SMBConnect
