The challenges for SMEs seeking working capital

Lance van der Molen from iStore Business discusses how SMEs can streamline their IT using Apple’s ecosystem. From cybersecurity to productivity tools and trade-in value, he says Apple devices offer efficiency and resilience, giving small firms a competitive edge without the need for in-house IT expertise.
