New Year Resolution 2006 - Take The Fight To The Big Guys

Small and medium companies are recognised as some of the most innovative and effective suppliers of services. Lots of barriers exist in the supply chain however that mean larger scale buyers and smaller scale suppliers either do not get the best out of their relationships or do not work together at all. Alexander Venture Consulting has established a new service for 2006 designed to broker the most effective and productive supply chain arrangements between smaller suppliers and larger buyers.

London,UK (PRWEB) December 11, 2005 -- The Government promotes SMEs as vital to the economy and one of the best sources of business flexibility and innovation. So with public sector support all should be rosy for SMEs.

The reality however is that risk aversion, margin squeeze and supplier consolidation approaches from buyers of business services often serve to block SMEs and favour the 'Big is Beautiful' model.

This can seem the lowest cost route but can lead to markets being near monopolies in the longer term allowing a potentially unscrupulous big supplier to overcharge clients or undertake 'sharp' practices designed primarily to support their share prices for instance rather than to deliver service value.

From a background of leading the development of business at a SME from £8 million to over £34 million, Patrick Egan the founder of new business, Alexander Venture Consulting, is staying close to his roots. The company is aiming its business model at enhancing all aspects of the working relationships between larger buyers of business services and smaller suppliers to redress the balance with large suppliers and create more real competition.

A major element of the company's approach is that it takes a straightforward low key route, concentrating just on getting the best business results for clients. This helps to avoid fads and jargon and does not tie in clients to long term commitments with it.
