Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify and evaluate the economic benefits for companies that result from the provision of business services provided by a Shared Service Centre. Design/methodology/approach: The study used primary and secondary data. Data were obtained using, among others: descriptive analysis, content analysis, diagnostic survey, cause-effect analysis and qualitative analysis. The study, in the form of in-depth interviews, was conducted in 2021-2022. It was attended by experts with many years of professional experience in managerial and managerial positions. Findings: In the search for new opportunities to improve the efficiency of enterprises, a conceptual framework for an enterprise business model was developed, taking into account Shared Service Centre services. In a turbulent environment, Shared Service Centre services are becoming valuable competitive instruments, especially in terms of their ability to influence a company's financial situation, as confirmed by the experts participating in the study. Research limitations/implications: The article does not undertake a quantitative assessment of the impact of the services provided by Shared Service Centers on the financial situation of the enterprises covered by the study. Due to the confidentiality of the data, the experts participating in the study did not consent to their disclosure. The results of these analyzes encourage further, extended research in this area, including entities publishing financial data. Practical implications: The essence of the services provided by the Shared Service Centre means that they have a significant role to play in the management of the company. Indeed, all categories of Shared Service Centre services are fundamentally oriented towards a greater degree of coordination and flexibility of activities and the reduction of associated costs. Originality/value: The proposed enterprise business model can contribute to the improvement of decision-making tools for cooperation with the Shared Service Centre, in an effort to improve the financial situation of enterprises. This need is triggered by constant cost competition, which prompts companies to create an efficient value chain to build competitive advantage and grow.
