At Bira, we’re proud to have partnered with Associated Independent Stores for many years, offering valuable support and exclusive benefits to their members.
As an AIS member, you already benefit from the collective strength of your buying group. But there’s even more to gain by working with Bira.
With Bira membership, you’ll be supporting our ongoing campaigns to create a level playing field for all independent retailers. Our advocacy covers a wide range of issues, with key priorities including business rates reform, fairer parking policies, protection from aggressive evictions, and action on shop theft and in-store violence.
Card Processing
Introducing Global Payments – our trusted payments partner, offering Bira members exclusive benefits such as competitive rates, next-day settlement, advanced card terminals, and dedicated UK-based customer support. You’ll also receive three months of free terminal rental, next-day access to funds to boost cash flow and agility, and access to a cash advance facility.
Legal Advice
Taking care of employment, health and safety and other legal issues in any organisation, large or small, can be a time-consuming and difficult task.
Bira Legal, in partnership with WorkNest, provides you with the advice and support you need. Unlimited and built into the cost of membership.
