We look at People, Processes and Profit. The 3Ps for holidays for small business owners.

Profit - you need the money to pay for the holiday and to be able to take time out of the business.

People - you need great people able to run the company while you are away.

Processes - the key tasks are clearly documented so that they can be done without the owners input.
