BUSINESS Car Manager is the only dedicated business motoring website for small and medium enterprise (SME) businesses.
And that’s why we thought now is the time to launch the SME Company Car of the Year awards, in association with MAGMA Automotive Services.
We think there’s a real need in the market.
Over 400,000 visitors a year visit businessmotoring.co.uk when they want straight-talking, independent advice, whether it’s company car tax, correct business mileage rates, or the next company car they should buy.

“We’ve run our awards before, but this year we wanted to change the emphasis and cement our presence as the leading online website for SME businesses…” Ralph Morton, Editor
And why?
Because SME businesses are the forgotten sector, falling between the retail customer and the fleet buyer as manufacturers pay lip service to SMEs but fail to understand what an SME wants from the relationship.
But not all.
We know there are some great manufacturer SME programmes providing much needed help and support to SME firms. These are the gold standard. And we want to unearth them so that you benefit and can make informed decisions about your company cars, which car manufacturers you choose, and how you finance your business cars.
“We’ve run our awards before, but this year we wanted to change the emphasis and cement our presence as the leading online website for SME businesses with a set of really meaningful awards that will help SMEs make more informed company car decisions,” said editor Ralph Morton.
