Business Translations for SMEs

In addition to our well recognized professional translation services, Quick Lingo offers specialized international business consultancy and business translations for SMEs.

According to the European Commission, the lack of languages skills has affected SMEs business performance. Approximately 11% of small and medium size businesses (almost a million companies) lose contracts due to a lack of language skills. This represents losses of between €8bn and €13bn. The study, carried out in 2007, showed that exporting SMEs are more productive than those which do not export. Although English seems to be more extensively used as an intermediary language, demand for skills in other major languages was greater than the demand for English.
