How we qualify

Partnerships are commercial relationships with obligations on both sides, so every enquiry is assessed before terms are discussed. We look at:

  • Strategic and commercial fit with SMBF and its members
  • Your target market, and whether our network actually reaches it
  • Delivery capability - partnerships involve commitments on both sides
  • Any conflict with an existing partner in the same sector

Tell us which level looks right and what you would want from it, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
