BUSINESSES
Managed Print Solutions
For over a decade our team has delivered managed print solutions for small to medium sized businesses. We proudly offer same day and next day support to a large number of Victorian offices.
​
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) often have no idea just how much printing is going on in their offices. This printing often becomes a ‘forgotten’ expenditure that no one notices. CEOs and directors are often shocked to find that office printing can easily add up to 3-8% of business turnover. Here at Magnetiser, we often help our SME customers save 60% of this cost.
​
What is an SME?
​
The term SME stands for small and medium sized
business enterprises. We classify a business as small
or medium based on the number of employees it has.
We categorise as follows:
​
-
Small Businesses: 0-19 employees
-
Medium Businesses: 20-199 employees
-
0-4 employees are categorised as "micro"

Where are most SMEs based?
​
​Most SMEs in Australia are based in the eastern states (New South Wales, VIctoria, and Queensland). They represented over 70.5% of total industry employment back in 2009-10 — that’s over 7 million people! SMEs also represent the fastest growing sector in Australia for managed print.
