Barry insurance broker named in Small Business Saturday UK's 'Small Biz 100' for 2016
An insurance broking business from Barry, which offers a free online comparison service for businesses across the UK looking for protection insurance, has been named among the 100 small businesses in the UK to be celebrated by Small Business Saturday, the campaign that culminates in the UK's dedicated day for small businesses on December 3rd.
- (1888PressRelease) August 25, 2016 - The Protection People was set up to give business owners the ability to compare business life insurance quotes online. As all the main comparison websites focus on personal life insurance, the business wanted to turn that on its head and focus on the huge number of UK business owners who had a protection gap. The business offers free telephone advice through its team of qualified consultants and works with major insurers to build robust tailored solutions for clients. It will now be among the select number of businesses to be featured by the Small Business Saturday campaign one per day for the 100 days leading up to Small Business Saturday itself.
"The majority of business owners are unaware that they can put continuation options in place very inexpensively. We empower these individuals to compare quotes online from their desk or mobile device," explains Operations Director Tom Parker.
"We feel its important to increase awareness around business life insurance as it can be and invaluable and affordable option to ensure businesses can continue to trade effectively should one of their key people pass away. Purchasing a business life insurance plan can save the owner up to 49% on their premiums when compared to personal life insurance, a huge saving not understood by most business owners in the UK."
Small Business Saturday is already the UK's most successful small business campaign. This is the fourth year of the campaign, which last year saw £623m spent with small businesses across the UK on Small Business Saturday, an increase of £119m or 24 per cent on the previous year. The campaign trended at number one in the UK on Twitter on the day with more than 100,000 campaign-related tweets being sent. Over 75% of local councils supported the campaign, giving considerable national reach into local communities.
The campaign is a great nationwide promotional and marketing tool for small businesses. It is totally free to participate and any small businesses can get involved - from one-man-bands, through to a high growth office, and from tradesmen to social media gurus. In addition to the big day, the campaign also delivers help and advice alongside opportunities to connect with other small businesses. In short, Small Business Saturday exists to support, inspire and promote small businesses.
"The British public has a great affection for small businesses and we continue to see that grow year on year. Small Business Saturday is an exceptional example of collaboration and co-operation with small businesses teaming up in communities around the UK," explains Campaign Director Michelle Ovens.
"Although the campaign focuses on one day, the goal is to have a lasting impact on small businesses by changing mind-sets, so that people make it their mission to support small businesses all year round. Most people in this country own a small business, work for a small business or know somebody who does, so supporting a small business on Small Business Saturday is absolutely natural."
Small Business Saturday, which is a grassroots, not-for-profit campaign, was originally founded by American Express in the U.S. in 2010 and it remains the principal supporter of the campaign in the UK, as part of its on-going commitment to encourage consumers to shop small. The campaign also benefits from the backing of leading business organisations including the Federation of Small Businesses and Enterprise Nation. The campaign is also supported by PRS For Music, TalkTalk Business, Vistaprint, Post Office and Clear Channel
