Sage is a UK-based enterprise software company known for its suite of financial tools for small-tomedium-sized businesses – including solutions for payroll, HR and finance. Sage was founded in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, in 1981 when local businessman David Goldman wanted to automate some of the basic accounting functions of his own company. After almost a decade of growth, it floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1989 before expanding to the US two years later. It became part of the FTSE 100 in 1999 and has remained there ever since, welcoming its five-millionth customer in 2007. Today, the business employs more than 11,000 people and supports millions of entrepreneurs in over 20 countries on a daily basis.
