The Problem Attracting and retaining good staff is difficult… Especially for small to medium sized companies

“I just don’t’ have the budget to hire her but I know she will be an amazing asset for our company. How do we get her?”

- Frustrated hiring manager

PerkUp.

The Solution PerkUp.

But there have been employee perks around for a long time, why create another?

An employee perks program for companies of all sizes.

PerkUp.

The Solution

Because small to medium sized companies don’t have enough staff to warrant sufficient discounts for employee perks. Group buying gives access the same employee perks for smaller businesses that larger companies can afford.

Market Size Target market Businesses with between 50 and 200 staff in Australia Target market 40,000 businesses in Australia have 50 – 200 employees in Australia (in Britain this number is 180,000) Average employees in this set = 55 employees Total employees in this set = 2.2m employees

PerkUp.

Market Value $80m potential market in Australia for Employee Perks Approximately $80m is spent on employee perks each year for large companies. (Average employee of a large company receives $800 per year in non-monetary incentives for large companies across approximately 100,000 employees in Australia) Another $80m (approx. $36 per employer per year) to be spent on Small to Medium Enterprises with the aid of group buying power through PerkUp.

PerkUp.

Market Trends Reduced profitability of many small to medium sized enterprises in Australia over the last 5 years has stopped or reduced bonus sizes.

Consecutive years of no monetary bonuses for various industries in Australia has further opened up the need for non- monetary incentives.

Work perks have become commonplace to replace pay rises in Australia, UK and US
