Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, yet many are losing revenue and productivity simply because contracts and performance systems are not managed proactively.

Only 11% of SMEs believe their contract management processes are effective, 9% of revenue can be lost through post contract management, and 50% of SMEs report unreasonable contract demands. Over 40% report lack of clear ownership of performance expectations, spending hours each week firefighting, instead of being ahead, reducing the focus on growth.

When contracts, performance and internal processes are not aligned, it leads to

• Missed renewals and income

• Deliverable delays and disputes

• Cash-flow stress

• Lower morale and unclear accountability
