John Ania started his company with the aim of providing the most
honest and high quality service possible to his clients. He has always
maintained that honesty is vital to the continued success of a business,
offering all of the following reasons as to why this is the case.
The Legal Aspect
There may occasionally be times when your company comes under scrutiny, particularly when it comes to your accounting. If you have conducted yourself ethically and made sure that your books are all up to date and reflect the company’s business appropriately, this will never be an issue. Being dishonest, however, may lead to legal ramifications in the worst case scenario.
Your Reputation
A business is only going to be as successful as its reputation allows, so if you have developed a reputation for failing to deliver on your promises or simply not being transparent in the way you do business, you are often going to find that very few people are willing to work with you. By staying honest you will be able to build your brand and be recognized for providing exactly what you claim to.
Staff Unity
Honest business practices are just as important to your staff as they are to your clients and you will find that many of your employees will feel uncomfortable working for a company they perceive to be dishonest. John Ania notes that motivation can dip and productivity will falter if your employees do not have confidence in your business practices, so always make the effort to keep them in the loop and demonstrate that you are dedicated to maintaining a respectable business ethos.
