Business As Usual, the latest innovative business solution that has the needs of the SMME business owner and its employees covered

24 October 2014 Europ Assistance

Starting a business and running it successfully is no easy feat, with many businesses failing after less than five years due to a lack of resources and other such factors. Now Europ Assistance South Africa, a company with 30 years of experience in the assistance services field, has developed a product that can assist in turning this around.

Business As Usual is a bundled assistance services solution, developed specifically to offer SMME’s practical support, tangible savings and growth opportunities. The product enables SMME owners to focus on growing their core business by diluting the impact of routine work pressures and allowing them to put money back into the business.

Business as Usual is about assurance. It’s in the daily access to commercial legal advice, tax know-how or remuneration expertise. It is in knowing they can pick up a phone and call a plumber when the drain in the office tea room is blocked on a Monday morning (call out fee and first hour covered). It’s the guarantee of roadside assistance if their delivery vehicle breaks down (free towing to nearest place of repair); the ability to offer staff access to a discounted medical services, a procurement service to source best printer cartridge prices and even a virtual personal assistant to book that meeting venue or caterer or a business trip. Then there is the advantage in becoming a partner on a business portal that could increase commercial exposure and have positive impact on lead generation opportunities.

As a leading provider of telephonic care services, Europ Assistance South Africa’s number one priority is creating effective solutions supported by the highest local and international service standards, meeting the needs of their clients. Products and delivery channels are constantly re-engineered to provide innovative, cost-effective and accessible value added services in today’s economic and developmental climate. With offerings such as Business As Usual, Europ Assistance South Africa once again shows they care by providing SMME owners with the invaluable knowledge that business advice and support is just a phone call or email away.
