December 5th 2005 - Did you know that 80 to 90 per cent of local economies are made up of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? That’s right, it’s the little guys who make up the main body of our economy. However, when you consider that an average business’ spend is 50% of the turn over, you‘d expect to hear that the spend management in these companies is a high priority
However small businesses often struggle with their purchasing for many reasons:
1. Small companies focus on sales and products and don’t always put the same emphasis on spend.
2. The person coordinating purchasing is often wearing many hats, and therefore struggling for time to shop around and search for better deals.
3. Some companies feel they are too small to negotiate really good discounts.
So…the cycle begins. Small businesses are charged higher prices because of their size, more spend means less money to spend on the business, and consequently less time can be spent searching for better deals therefore suppliers can continue to charge higher rates to small businesses.
Not any more! Finally there is a purchasing company that is set up to help the little guy.
