believe what they’re offered lags behind<br />

offerings to consumers. It was successful<br />

because the starting point was having<br />

a clear focus and target customer in<br />

mind, then making sure you richly understand<br />

and meet their needs. The limitation<br />

in the market for SMEs is that<br />

offerings are similar across providers<br />

with a one size fits all businesses approach.<br />

Given the diversity in the sector<br />

it’s not appropriate. We typically offered<br />

a more bespoke approach focusing on<br />

one-man bands, consultants and<br />

contractors, rather than large organisations.<br />

SMEs are looking for a great return<br />

while making processes as simple as<br />

possible. We ended up with a proposition<br />

described as “great returns effortlessly”<br />

which became the guideline to how we<br />

operated at Aldermore. We delivered the<br />

UK’s first end to end fully online account<br />

opening process for SMEs which took<br />

just 10 minutes rather than days or<br />

weeks - it was a huge enabler and key<br />

pillar of our offer.<br />
