Simply Business Launches
11 August 2006
Xbridge today launched Simply Business (http://www.simplybusiness.co.uk), providing the business community with the UK’s most comprehensive financial services marketplace. Simply Business provides businesses with a one-stop-shop for all business finance and insurance requirements, providing market-wide comparisons and instant online purchasing.
Simply Business grew from Xbridge’s Decision Finance business portal. Since its launch in 2002, Decision Finance remains the UK’s leading comparative business insurance and business finance market.
Simply Business brings together High Street brands and specialist providers. It enables small business owners to compare, decide and buy business finance and insurance instantly online.
“Simply Business now provides business owners with the same ability to research, compare and buy business finance products instantly, that consumers have enjoyed with the development of the Internet” commented Brad Liebmann, Managing Director, Simply Business. “Over 99% of the UK’s 3.5million business are small- or medium-sized, with owner-operators who are too busy to spend days or weeks researching finance and insurance products themselves” continued Liebmann.
Simply Business eliminates this problem and brings the best finance and insurance providers together into one highly efficient marketplace for business owners.
Features include:
• Simply Business provides instant, comparative quotes from 20 of the UK’s leading invoice finance providers
• Simply Business offers instant, online quotes for more trades and professions than any other UK insurer and provides quotes from 6 different commercial insurers
• Customers can compare and buy business insurance cover instantly online
• Simply Business has a specialist UK insurance contact centre so customers can follow up their online research and talk to real people, who are experts in business insurance.
“Over one million small businesses have used Xbridge-powered online marketplaces to find the most appropriate business finance and insurance for their businesses needs. The time is right to use our understanding of both the online market place and the requirements of small businesses, to develop our own marketplace and give ‘time poor’ business owners genuine, independent financial advice and the ability to buy instantly online.” said Liebmann
