Welcome AIS Members! 

Here at Bira, we're delighted to have been working with AIS for many years to provide additional support and valuable benefits to their members.

As an AIS member, you already have collective strength in numbers through your buying group. In addition to this, there are many more ways to benefit from working together.

With Bira membership you'll be supporting our campaigns for a level playing field for all independent retail businesses. While we're campaigning on many different topics all the time, some of our key themes are business rates, parking, rent including aggressive evictions, shop theft and in-store violence.

Other benefits of Bira membership include:

• Access to vehicle loans for both new and used vehicles 
• Discounts with key vehicle manufacturers 
• Unlimited legal advice on all matters including Employment Law, HR, Health and Safety, Tax and VAT and Commercial and General Law
• Preferential rates for processing debit and credit cards inc. PCI compliance fee covered
• Specialist business insurance for retail 
• Retail training covering buying and merchandising, selling skills and supervisory skills 
• And much more

Want to speak to someone about what these benefits will mean in terms of actual savings for your business? Call the Bira membership team on 0800 028 2245 or email membership@bira.co.uk for advice.

Many AIS members are already members of Bira so if you're not yet benefitting, join them today!
