Legal benefits scheme

“We have recently had the need to use the bssa legal helpline.

I would like to say how helpful they were. We had no idea of the pitfalls one can get into without legal advice.”

“I would thoroughly recommend membership of the bssa for the legal helpline alone to any fellow small retailers like ourselves. With many thanks John Wilding (partner) Grays.“

A free business lifeline which is available to all full retailer members with up to 250 employees. This invaluable scheme protects members from expensive legal costs and provides free cover for fees incurred in defending employment disputes, health and safety prosecutions, plus tax, VAT and PAYE investigations. It provides cover of up to £50,000 per claim. This service alone represents an annual saving to members of at least £340.

Since introducing this FREE benefit in 1999, over £190,000 has been paid out to members, two of whom received payments of £22,350 and £16,500 respectively.

You can't put a price on the value of having advice available at the end of the telephone, with experienced personnel able to guide you through the maze of issues that now affect your business including employment, health and safety, tax and other business or personal legal problems.

Authoritative advice is only a phone call away. Ring as often as you need, safe in the knowledge that even one call could potentially repay the cost of the annual subscription.

Full details are contained in the scheme booklet which is sent to every member.
