UK SMEs waste one month a year on IT

BT research has revealed that 50% of small UK businesses waste more than 24 working days a year on activities such as finance, IT and HR.

The study also showed that government legislation and regulations are the biggest concern for more than half of small business decision makers, with 10% of small businesses only running their businesses for two-thirds of the year because they are distracted by admin for a day and a half every week.

Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business explained how small companies can free up their time to concentrate on their core business. “We can’t do anything about tax, but what we can do is help smaller companies reduce the time they spend on their IT and communications and, in turn, help control costs,” he said.
