Small and Medium-sized Enterprises — known as SMEs — accounted for 99% of all UK business in 20161 and the upper limit for employee numbers in SMEs across the EU is 250. Once upon a time though, many of these SMEs started out as small businesses, before growing to meet their SME status.
Take the McGrath Group, leading suppliers of waste management services and a finalist in the SME London Business Awards 2016. Or First Aid for Life, providing outstanding training to groups and individuals and winner of the Federation of Small Businesses ‘Best Business for Excellence in Customer Service’. All businesses, at every stage, need to stay on top of ‘the paperwork’ and many business owners find it’s an uphill task which only gets worse as the company grows.
