CHAMBERS PLAN BUSINESS ASSISTANCE SERVICE

Small business owners wear many hats; however, they can’t be an expert in everything. There are times when it is a good idea to seek professional advice from a specialist, but expert opinions can be expensive. The Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan Business Assistance Service can help. Business Assistance Service is a confidential service that provides up to six hours of access to professional accounting, legal and human resource experts who understand the challenges small business owners face.

The Chambers Plan Business Assistance Service is a complimentary service built into every Chambers Plan employee benefit program. Business Assistance Service is easy to use, owners simply contact Business Assistance Service and a trained specialist will ask some Business Assistance Service questions to determine which services will best resolve the issue. A counselling appointment will then be arranged with a lawyer, accountant, or human resource specialist. There are no out-of-pocket expenses when accessing these services, nor are you required to submit any claim forms.
