Retailer Revenue Enhancement Solutions enables small and medium
sized retailers to obtain products and services at the same low prices that the
largest businesses obtain. We use the combined buying power of over 3,000 smaller
businesses to negotiate the lowest possible prices and we share these benefits with
all our customers. All these products are revenue generating so the retailer can
grow his turnover at the lowest possible cost.
Our corporate mission statement is: "CNG Business Services is committed to enabling
all businesses in today's increasingly competitive marketplace to become more efficient
by either reducing their costs or finding ways to increase their revenue. We believe
that all businesses, regardless of size,should have access to the most favourable
terms from first-rate suppliers.And we use the combined purchasing power of many
businesses to ensure that this is the case."
We trace the history of CNG Business Services back to 1984 when
our sister company Capital News Group started helping a handful of retailers obtain
preferential rates on ice-cream. The word soon spread and we were referred to thousands
of retailers each of whom we helped obtain preferential terms,at no cost to them.
CNG Business Services' has now assumed this side of Capital News Group's operations
and has expanded both the supplier and customer bases. We are now able to answer
the many requests that Capital News Group has had to apply its bulk purchasing power
to other products and services.
CNG Business Services' management and advisors are highly respected and combine
many years of retail, finance, small business and entrepreneurial acumen, along
with a healthy dose of social responsibility. Together, these skills have enabled
the company to recognise a market opportunity and negotiate highly competitive rates
from suppliers, which we in turn pass on to you.
