The Oranso Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Partnership (Oranso SME Partnership) is a vertical integration model designed to support food-processing SMEs with the capacity to scale profitably beyond £1 million in annual revenue or turnover.

The partnership enables SMEs to focus on producing high-quality food products, while Oranso Market provides support across key areas, including raw material and packaging sourcing, distribution, logistics, marketing, sales, and regulatory compliance. This approach reduces their operational and financial burdens, improves cash flow, and allows them to concentrate on their core production activities.

Through regular contracts and off-take arrangements, SMEs gain a more reliable route to market, with opportunities to expand beyond local markets and access international markets through Oranso’s existing networks and business relationships. SMEs can participate in the partnership through two main models:

• White-label model: The SME produces food products that are sold in the partnership’s target markets under the Oranso brand.

• Equity partnership model: The SME retains its existing business name and identity while benefiting from the partnership’s resources, infrastructure, networks, and market access.
