Unlimited legal advice from 33p per day

Posted on in Business News

The legal helpline has been one of ActSmart's key services for many years, helping subscribers get access to the guidance they need, whenever they need it.

From setting up a business to dealing with customer complaints or employment issues, having access to legal advice is key to any small business.

According to recent research gathered from a study by Aviva, SMEs say that professional advice is often too costly, and two in five (38%) companies rely solely on advice from family or friends, while just 13% consult financial advisers, and 9% use legal advisers.

However, seeking advice needn't be costly, in fact it could cost you just 33p a day to give you peace of mind that unlimited guidance will just a phone call away, should you ever need 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
