What is small business health insurance?
Small business health insurance is an insurance policy that offers quick access to eligible treatment for you and your employees, helping look after their health and wellbeing.
Our small business health insurance plans provide cover for 1-249 employees. We think that the best way for you to get the cover that's right for you and your business is to let you build your plan yourself, so we offer a range of cover options for you to choose from. 90% of our small business customers stay with us, so we think they agree too.
Whether your priority is giving your employees quick access to diagnosis and treatment, mental health support for the pressures which come with your area of work, or speedy physiotherapy access for your team, you can choose the best combination of cover for your business and budget. Plus, you and your employees can also add family members to your plan to get healthcare cover at business rates.
Health insurance is good for business
Feeling valued is motivating. With healthcare benefits for employees, you can show your team just how important they are to you. This helps you do business better in a number of ways:
-
Retain employees
The Association of British Insurers commissioned a survey of 2,005 people in 2023 and found 57% saw health insurance as a key part of an employee benefits package.
-
Attract top talent
Private healthcare cover shows you’re committed to your employees. The Financial Times (2023) argue that it can help you persuade top-level new recruits to commit to your business.
-
Flexible medical appointments
Allow your team to choose appointments at a time and location that suits them, so they can look after themselves and their work, no problem.
