Target market challenges

SME10s face substantial hurdles which have become exacerbated by the rise in remote working.

Key areas where SME10s lag larger businesses are the ability to communicate over multiple channels (an expectation now among many clients), efficient internal and external collaboration and customer relationship management. Many owners and staff multi-task because of lack of human resources which leads to poor execution of basic tasks.

Many SME10 owners and employees lack IT proficiency. They struggle with existing software and lack the knowledge on how to get multiple apps to integrate. Spreadsheet-based record keeping impedes their ability to track opportunities, making sales and post-sale customer service a challenging task.

SME10-targeted app

Our client has developed an easy-to-use integrated communication and organisation tool. This product combines telephony, messaging, CRM, and more into one comprehensive, cloud-based platform optimised for use on all desktop and mobile devices.

The platform is also a VoIP phone system that can manage a range of landline numbers, includes business-grade email, enables video meetings with screen-sharing capabilities, provides shared and personal calendars and offers secure document storage.

Market potential

The market potential for our client’s solution is significant. According to data from the UK government, there are 5.5 million private sector businesses in the UK. Of these, 4.1 million are either sole-proprietorships or single-employee businesses.

Additionally, there are 1,187,045 businesses employing between 1 to 9 individuals. This represents a sizable market segment often overlooked by communication and business software developers, thus creating a significant opportunity for our client.

The current board of directors has significant experience in selling telecommunications and B2B apps into this marketplace.

The business also has the potential to go global as the same target market in other countries will face the same challenges as here in the UK.
