Promotion to thousands of consumers every month
At the heart of The Experts online community is the find a shops search which allows users to find specialist businesses across the UK.
All ActSmart subscribers are given a free listing allowing you to promote your business details, which brands you stock, a description of your business, opening hours, shop photos, a direct link to your website and much more to thousands of consumers every month.
Employment manual
ActSmart subscribers can take the headache out of employment issues by using the professionally produced and constantly updated employment manual provided through our partnership with DAS - accessible 24/7 online.
Reduce your business rates - free consultation and 20% discount on fees
Business Rates can account for a large proportion of expenditure and many businesses wrongly assume they can't do anything to reduce them. In fact, many businesses could actually be paying less.
Save money on business energy costs
Energy is one of the most expensive costs faced by any business. ActSmart has partnered with LSI to help retailers control their energy expenditure.
Political Advocacy
Independently, small leisure sectors cannot expect to influence the people who have such a big impact on our businesses and our industries, but by working together our combined voice can be heard and can make a real difference.
