Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for over 99% of the business population in both nations. This statistic indicates a significant opportunity for marketplace businesses in these countries. A similar percentage is also true of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMEs are the backbone of our economies and for ecommerce independents, three factors are creating an era of unparalleled opportunity &#8211; marketplace reach, a revolution in cash flow and free tools and insights. Here is a breakdown of what sellers can now access to turbocharge growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-going-global\">Going global<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketplaces rely on their sellers\u2019 ability to thrive, and it is no surprise that they are now structured to support smaller businesses. Independent sellers make up over 60% of Amazon\u2019s sales and like other major marketplaces, it recognises their potential. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutamazon.eu\/news\/empowering-small-business\/one-product-per-second-polish-smes-break-sales-records-on-amazon#:~:text=The%20Polish%20map%20of%20e,increased%20by%20more%20than%2025%25.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon recently revealed its Polish SMEs sold an average of one product per second in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketplaces offer a truly global shop window, an SME in Manchester can instantly attract buyers from Milan to Manilla which is why major marketplaces offer every additional service including logistics, warehousing, fulfilment and customer service. It is striking to note that 65% of SMEs on Amazon UK export goods to other countries, a figure significantly higher than the proportion of all UK SMEs as only 12% export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Going global\u2019 is now possible because of the resources and infrastructure marketplaces offer. Facilitating expansion into new markets would once have taken years for individual companies to develop. Marketplaces now ensure it is a turnkey solution, leaving sellers free to focus on their products, their suppliers and how to exceed their customers\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bg-colorway-gray pv-x-large\">\n    <div class=\"section section--large\">\n        <div class=\"section__inner\">\n            <div

id=\"h-fast-sales-and-now-fast-payments\">Fast sales and now fast payments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With an almost unlimited audience, 24\/7, selling products quickly is the promise of ecommerce. Rapid growth is always welcome but it comes with risks that must be managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketplaces rely on consumer trust and fulfilling their expectations and as any seller knows, for a product listing to be found, it needs to maintain good (in fact, excellent) product and customer service ratings. A product not in stock, or even low on stock, leads to a lower product ranking. This makes sense from the marketplace\u2019s perspective because if a customer can\u2019t buy what they want at that moment, they may leave the site, and the marketplace loses a sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues are compounded when a competitor\u2019s site ranks higher. Not only do they get a sale but they can build a direct and on-going relationship with that customer. Cash flow is key to avoiding stockouts which is why fast payouts matter. The good news is that sellers with high-growth potential can avoid payout delays and access next day payments so that they can restock quickly. The even better news is that shorter cash cycles accelerate sales. <a href=\"https:\/\/storfund.com\/en\/why-shorter-cash-cycles-are-better\/\">More on that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bg-colorway-gray pv-x-large\">\n    <div class=\"section section--large\">\n        <div class=\"section__inner\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote quote--large\">\n                                <p>With an almost unlimited audience, 24\/7, selling products quickly is the promise of ecommerce.<\/p>\n            <\/blockquote>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tools-for-growth\">Tools for Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As seller growth is critical to marketplace growth, it\u2019s not surprising that marketplaces invest in tools and channels to expand sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From entire marketing ecosystems to innovations to speed up the product listing process, marketplaces are dedicated to upskilling sellers. For example, Amazon recently announced that sellers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom can now leverage generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sellers can enter from a few product descriptors and the tool quickly analyses, enriches and produces content ready for use. Some 77% of early adopters say the tool has saved time and importantly 72% say it has improved profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sellers have other avenues open to them beyond marketplaces which rely on search functions. TikTok Shop\u2019s focus is on assisting its sellers to hone their skills as creators for example.
