IMHO (In My Humble Opinion)

What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About IMHO (In My Humble Opinion)

Small and midsize corporations often use the chat abbreviation ‘IMHO’ for brief, internal business communications. For instance, if a company employee wants to give one of their coworkers business advice in an informal manner via text, they can use the abbreviation IMHO followed by a piece of helpful advice. This communicates to their coworker that although they are willing to give them business advice, it should not be taken as a fact, as it is based on their personal opinion.
