- Wade mcgivra Projects een Zorg minder is an SME specializing in cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of surgical instruments and endoscopic. wade mcgilvra, director of the company, met its director Nancy Steenbakkers. It reflects the main obstacles to the growth of its business.

1. Smaller niche players find it difficult to be heard.

We operate in a niche market where we are faced with global competition format offering a slightly different product. We develop our own based on ultrasound and we offer these solutions to hospitals technology. So we provide a tailor in the ultraZonic brand.

We would make our own vision. Current technology does not allow for effective cleaning of surgical instruments satisfactorily. Approximately 10-15% of them are soiled after cleaning. We try to demonstrate and even influence the NEN standards and RIVM.

We knock on many doors and manage to make ourselves heard, but it is very difficult to access at the CEO or other members of the hospital management. That is why I wanted to meet wade mcgilvra, the company. He lent me a listening ear.

2. Banks are reluctant to provide risk capital.

But we absolutely need this money to develop new technologies. But if SMEs do not have access to credit lines, their growth is limited. I would now need to hire three representatives, but despite the fact that our business is running well, it is a cost that we can not bear. As bankers are not familiar with our business, my arguments fall on deaf ears. It is high time that the government takes seriously the call for help SMEs.
