Business with a website grows seven times more.

Every business needs to go digital to capitalize on the dramatic growth predicted in the internet economy, according to a report from The Boston Consulting Group (BCG).


“No company or country can afford to ignore this development. Every business needs to go digital.”

According to the report, companies that make extensive use of the internet – including social media – to sell, market and interact with their customers and suppliers, grow faster than those that do not.

In fact, in the UK, the data shows that those with a medium or high internet presence saw their business grow seven times faster than those called ‘low-web’ or ‘no-web’.
