SIBA understands that running a business is hard work and that keeping up with legal requirements can be a major drain on resources. To help our valued members operate more efficiently we now provide the following services as a complimentary benefit of SIBA membership:• Telephone access to expert commercial and legal advice
• Internet access to a wide range of factsheets
• Regular bulletins on topical business issues
• Informative quarterly newsletter covering legislative changes and practical business advice SIBA has arranged this service with Croner Consulting, one of the UK’s leading providers of legal and commercial advice to member organisations. Croner’s consultants are renowned for the level of expertise and support they provide. They are recruited for their ability to draw on their own extensive experience to provide tailored practical and realistic solutions using everyday language.

Leaflets and a contact card detailing these support services will be mailed to members shortly. In the meantime here’s a brief overview:

Factsheets

In addition to the Business Support Helpline you will have exclusive internet access to a wide range of factsheets by the end of July. These factsheets will help you deal with issues such as absence control and unfair dismissal.
The factsheets are designed to complement the telephone advice line by providing background on the subject concerned. Before any action is taken Croner recommend you seek assistance from one of their specialists on the Helpline. To reflect best business working practices and changes in legislation all factsheets are updated on a regular basis.

E-bulletins

Ad hoc press releases from Croner on highly topical issues will be included in SIBA Commercial newsletters from August so will you be kept furnished with the latest facts and overviews in order for you to make the most of the Business Support Helpline.

Quarterly newsletter

Every quarter an informative Croner newsletter will be made available. This will include a summary of major forthcoming legislation, frequently asked questions and articles offering practical business advice.

SIBA recognises that it is vital you have access to support and guidance to help you deal with business-related problems as they arise, leaving you to get on with what you do best – running your business!

All of these services are free of charge and are yet another example of the fabulous value of SIBA membership
