Our Vision Leading Edge Group – The Champion of Australian Independent Business To survive in today’s increasingly competitive market, companies are constantly searching for the edge that will make the difference between a profitable and expanding business and one that struggles to keep its head above water. With the continued growth of market share enjoyed by larger companies and corporations in all facets of today’s society, modern independent businesses are at a distinct disadvantage, not having access to the buying power, market presence or the resources available to larger businesses. As such, margins are shrinking, costs are rising, and the ability to address and capture additional market share is becoming increasingly difficult. Business owners are therefore spending more time trying to address these issues, often losing ground to the competition no matter how hard they try. At Leading Edge, we have been assisting independent businesses develop and grow their business since 1986, increasing their margins and sales through lower costs and the added benefits membership of a buying group offers. OUR MEMBERS BENEFIT THROUGH OUR CORE VALUE PROPOSITIONS: Increased sales from proactive marketing and sales activity Increased margins through effective supplier initiatives Improved profitability, through savings in operating costs Improved management skills Improved funding through more flexible credit terms Increased productivity through the operation of a single purchasing account Leading Edge Group is best described as a buying and promotional support group. We leverage the strength of the combined value of many small businesses, uniting the buying and marketing power of individuals. That combined power is used to improve the bottom line profitability for each member, creating advantages for independents that assist in the development of sustainable businesses.
