Is private healthcare for small businesses necessary?

Not all businesses provide their employees with private healthcare, and you are not required to offer it by law. But attracting and retaining top talent is key for small and medium sized enterprises – and a great benefits package could help your business stand out from the crowd.

What’s more, healthcare is increasingly one of the most sought-after benefits, with 57% of working Brits even prepared to sacrifice salary to secure it. And there’s to show that providing workplace health benefits can reduce absences, encourage engagement, and even improve productivity.

Important company health benefits for small businesses

The best small business health insurance plans should be catered to your organisational needs. All SMEs are different and will have different requirements. Flexibility, scalability and simplicity are key.

At Equipsme we know small businesses don’t have huge HR departments, so we’ve made it easy to set up and administer your plan. You can mix and match cover levels to make it work for your workforce, and your staff can choose to pay in themselves to upgrade or add family members.

It’s the same price for all ages 16-69, with no long medical questionnaires and a simple exclusion of pre-existing conditions in the three years before cover starts. We have designed our plans and benefits to help reduce the risk of a price hike at renewal too. We want to make sure your company health insurance is sustainable – and useful.

That’s why we focus on practical health support. If your business is a small one then every person out of action can have a huge impact. Our award-winning plans all include access to GP appointments, nurse helplines and physio support, to help people get better faster.
