S G & A stands for “selling, general, and administrative expenses.” In procurement and business operations, these are the costs associated with running a business that are not directly related to producing products or services. This includes costs such as office rent and supplies, insurance, payroll, marketing, and more. While these expenses can vary significantly between businesses, they often account for up to 25% of a company’s total expenses. As such, careful monitoring of S G & A is essential in order to ensure sustainability and profitability.
