The local picture

Business in Manchester, in numbers.

Greater Manchester has 108,685 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses across its ten boroughs, and almost 98 per cent of them are micro or small firms (ONS, 2026). Professional, scientific and technical services lead the count, followed by construction and retail.

registered businesses across Greater Manchester (ONS, 2026).
4,390
computer programming and consultancy firms in the city region (ONS, 2026).
61,000
people employed in information and communication across Greater Manchester (ONS, 2024 data).

When nearly every firm is small, every hour saved counts for more.

Firms in the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce survey for the second quarter of 2026 reported vacancies at a five-year low, with optimism rising in manufacturing and construction. That is the same problem from two sides: businesses that need to do more without adding people. Automation, connected systems and a website that brings in enquiries are how a small team does that.

Do you work with businesses in Manchester?

Yes. We work with businesses across Greater Manchester in UK hours, with video calls, a shared project board and a working demo every week. Ring us on 07723 431000 on any working day. A senior engineer is on every call, from the first conversation to launch.

Can a small Manchester business afford bespoke software?

Often, if the scope is right. We start with the one workflow that costs you the most time, build it to production standard and measure the hours it saves. You get a fixed quote in pounds before any work starts, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.

Can you help manufacturers in Greater Manchester?

Yes. We connect production, stock and accounting systems, and build the dashboards and automation that sit on top. If you are an SME manufacturer, check whether Made Smarter Adoption North West can part-fund the project before you commit.
