Independent businesses are the beating heart of Kings Heath, and now they’ve got an extra boost.
Thanks to a partnership between Kings Heath BID and the British Independent Retailers Association (Bira), local retailers can access a powerful package of support designed to cut costs, ease pressures, and free up more time for what really matters: customers and community.
Bira Insurance offers cover shaped for the realities of retail, from seasonal stock increases and goods in transit to outdoor seating and business interruption.
We know, every penny counts. Bira’s partnership with takepayments, a Global Payments company, helps keep more of those pennies where they belong: in your till.
Dealing with staff issues can feel like a full-time job in itself. That’s why, through our partnership with Worknest, you have access to Employment Law & HR, Health & Safety, and more.
