With no more than 250 employees or annual turnover of €50 million, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are small fish in a big economic pond. However, across the European Union (EU), SMEs comprise 99% of all firms, account for 66% of employment and 65% of turnover. 

The project issues
The Working With Business National Project was one of the ODPM-funded national projects, aimed at setting up a Single Business Account (SBA) that would enable improved interactions between businesses and local authorities. The SBA setup was a challenging task due to the different architectures within local authorities. The technical requirements were complex and had to ensure a consistent model capable of encompassing the many different components of the project.
