The SME Guide to Smarter Business Travel

For SMEs, business travel has always been about making the most of resources: finding the right balance between cost, time, and value. Today, there’s another dimension: sustainability.  

Clients increasingly expect it. Employees value it. And with rail offering both lower carbon and higher productivity, it’s also good business sense.  

Why SMEs are well placed to lead  

Unlike larger organisations, SMEs can adapt quickly. By adopting greener travel policies now, they can:  

  • Support staff with smoother, more productive journeys, all without the stress of expense claims.  
  • Control costs with access to SplitSave and price comparison across carriers.  
  • Improve brand reputation with clients who are watching ESG performance.  
     

How Trainline Business supports SMEs  

Trainline Business is designed to take the friction out of rail travel: 
 

  • Free to register, with no ongoing subscription or termination fees to worry about 
  • Simple to book rail across the UK and Europe.  
  • Built for Admins, with full visibility and control of travel spend.  
  • Bult for Travellers, who benefit from expense-free, productive journeys.  

Looking ahead  

With regulation tightening around carbon reporting and clients asking more of their suppliers, SMEs that act now will be well positioned. Adopting a rail-first approach is a practical, low-cost way to show leadership on sustainability, while also keeping travel efficient and affordable.
