Like many of the businesses we serve, Sage began as a small business and has grown beyond what seemed imaginable. Today over 11,000 colleagues now support millions of entrepreneurs across more than 20 countries as they power the global economy.
 
We help drive today’s business builders with a new generation of solutions to manage everything from money to people. 

Our social and mobile technology provides live information so you can make fast, informed decisions anytime, anywhere in the world. We support our business builders for life by offering choice, support, expertise, and innovation. We champion your causes and provide world-leading advice and support when you need it most.

Sage began as a modest British start-up.

In 1981, our founder David Goldman wanted to create quotes quickly for his print business and keep track of his accounts. David worked with a team from Newcastle University, including Dr. Paul Muller, a computer expert who worked with NASA, and student Graham Wylie. Our founders realised other businesses could benefit from this too. Some eight years later, Sage was listed on the London Stock Exchange with a £20m valuation.

Today we work with millions of businesses in all types of industries around the world. Over 11,000 employees serve our customers in more than 20 countries.

Our solutions manage accounting, HR, payroll, payments, assets, construction, real estate and enterprise systems

They travel with business builders wherever they’re needed – in the cloud, on-premise, or both – offering the freedom to work anywhere and anytime. Our solutions fit the needs of startup, scale-up, and enterprise companies – whether that means staying on top of their finances, empowering their people or unleashing their power to grow their businesses.

"Every accountant has something that works for them ; Sage works for me. It puts me in the pulse of my clients’ businesses – and that’s where lasting relationships form."

Let's build a better future

We envision a world where all people and communities thrive because they are living with economic stability and social equality. If our local communities thrive, so do we.

Causes we care about

Last year Sage and its employees supported a number of organisations. We donated 3 480 items ranging from food to toys to help local charities.

Helping communities around the world

Sage employees are given five paid days a year to help a charity. That's about 120 000 hours to make communities a better place to live.

Looking after customers

Sage has emergency procedures to help customers when they need it most; we get businesses up and running again as quickly as possible.

Helping the next generation

We provide both complimentary and discounted software to high schools, universities and colleges. Since 2008 we've given away over £1 000 000 (that's more than R18 million) in software.
