Half of Europe cannot find customers

For small business owners in Europe

Half of Europe cannot find customers. You are not the problem.

The European Central Bank asked 5,087 businesses across the euro area this summer, 4,679 of them small and medium-sized. Half named finding customers a major concern. So the question is not what is wrong with you — it is what you can still control.

If you run a small business in Europe, you have probably had a dozen “opportunities” land in your inbox and none of them held up. I understand that. I am not going to ask you to sign up for anything today.

My name is Goran B Edstrom. I have used MarketHive since 2008 — back when it was still called Veretekk — and I have been an Entrepreneur One member since 2019. Eighteen years. I know it works because I have watched it work.

Instead of asking you to take my word for it, I will show you a real case study of what this opportunity actually looks like — what it does, and how it helps a small business find leads and customers. Plainly, with no pressure, walked through with me rather than watched alone.

Send me the case study

“People give up too easy, and they are not consistent enough.”

Eighteen years of watching people come and go is what that sentence is made of.

What I will not do

I will not promise you customers, income, or a result. I only promote MarketHive — one platform, not a rotating list of programs — and if it is not the right fit for your business I will tell you that honestly instead of pushing it anyway.

Best regards,

Everything here is information and opinion from my own experience — it is not financial advice, and nothing here is a promise of income, results, or customers. The European Central Bank figure is from its Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises, second quarter 2026. If you ask for the case study I will email you about it, and you can tell me to stop at any time and I will take you off the list myself.
