About BizEquals
OUR STORY
Having previously set up and run small businesses, both at home and abroad, we understand what it takes to set up and run your own company. It's tough. It's unrelenting. It's exciting and it's rewarding.
Being your own boss, or working as part of a team in a small company, puts you in very good company. With nearly 6 million SMEs in the UK, and 1.4 million employers, many people understand the struggle, but also the opportunity and freedom, that comes with being part of the small business community.
Background to BizEquals
Digital Economy
The digital economy is here, is rapidly growing and is going to continue to transform the way business is conducted.
The digital economy is estimated to be worth around £150bn in the UK, which is over 7% of GDP.
Disrupted Business Models
Many companies will have their current business model disrupted, potentially fatally. They will need to adapt to new technologies and new trends.
SMEs can challenge and outcompete, through the nimble use of technology and innovation.

A new B2B digital platform
BizEquals is a new, B2B, digital platform, designed to connect SMEs with each other, with larger companies, and with all the advice, support and expertise across critical areas that are vital to allow them to grow and be more productive.
With a unique combination of features and opportunities, BizEquals aims to create an ecosystem where SMEs, and larger companies, can connect, learn, share and grow. According to McKinsey, the global consultancy firm, these new emerging digital ecosystems could account for more than $60 trillion in revenues by 2025, or more than 30% of total global corporate revenues.
Leveraging technological innovation, and a laser-focus on customer service rather than building internal processes and systems, will allow SMEs to compete not just with much larger companies but to disrupt whole industries. The Covid pandemic is still affecting the global economy but it has accelerated the shift to conducting business online.
BizEquals aims to be part of this shift, helping smaller companies find the new customers and suppliers, the business support and export advice, the access to finance, and the necessary digital skills that will allow them to do business with, collaborate with, and compete with much larger companies as business equals, hence BizEquals.
