ActSmart legal helpline

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Creative News, Outdoor News

Professional qualified advice comes as standard with ActSmart subscriptions

ActSmart's partnership with legal experts DAS means ActSmart subscribers can access 24 hour UK based helplines, covering a range of topics including commercial and legal advice, HR, health and safety, tax, business emergencies and confidential counselling.

Unlike many other legal and business support helplines, ActSmart offer subscribers 24 hour, unlimited access to DAS business support - a service which our subscribers take great comfort from. But don't just take our word for it...

"Whenever I need some legal advice such as if I have to make an important HR related decision, I consult the helpline first. This free, on hand legal advice would cost a fortune if sought elsewhere. The legal helpline is worth the subscription fee on its own." Andy Shrimpton, Managing Director, Cycle Heaven Ltd (right)

Why do I need legal cover?

In 2013, 38% of small businesses experienced a ‘significant' legal problem with nearly half of these problems resulting in a negative financial impact on the business, according to a study by the Legal Services Board.

The average cost of each problem was £6,700, meaning an overall cost of £100 billion to UK business!

With ActSmart subscription packages starting from the equivalent of just £10 a month, and a range of other benefits included on top of legal advice - can you afford not to join today?
