Ensuring you have the right technology for your business needs is of paramount concern to a small company owner. While the IT for starting up might involve a laptop and a mobile phone, once a company develops beyond the earliest stages it may be time to consider the likes of CRM systems, accounting software, and mobile payments technology. Small companies need quality, innovative solutions, but at a manageable price point. The vendors on this list have all refined their offering to address the modern needs of smaller businesses, offering innovation, service and value to the market.

The British Small Business Awards, taking place on November 1 at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London, is the leading celebration of the UK’s small business sector, recognising the nation’s best sole traders, micro businesses and small companies – as well as the service providers, financiers and advisers that support them.
