One of our clients is a small, family-run business, with the husband and wife at the helm. They came to us looking to save money in their private lives to make running a business easier and take some financial pressure off. They knew they’d be employing more people in the long-term but couldn’t offer top-rate salaries. With this in mind, they started to consider financial work perks.
What was the challenge?
Before signing up, we had to make sure Benefits Cloud would actually make a difference to their finances. As a small company they didn’t have the luxury of being able to spend lots of money trying a platform out. They also needed to make cutbacks in their private lives whilst going through a period of change at work. We looked at where they spend their money, and how Benefits Cloud offers could make a difference on an annual basis.
