New Partnership Set To Help Flood-Hit Companies Get Back On Their Feet

Wed, 29 Aug 2007

Small UK businesses that have been affected by the recent flooding have been given a welcome boost from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and Dell, who together will buy new IT equipment at reduced rates .

The FSB - the UK’s largest business organisation, and Dell – one of the leading global computer companies, have joined forces to help small businesses in the affected areas access discounted IT equipment to replace items lost or damaged in the floods.

The FSB / Dell combination will help reduce flood-hit companies’ expenses on items that they may be needed more urgently than can be replaced via insurance claims, helping them return to business as normal in the process.

By missing out on insurance claims some firms may be able to continue in business that would otherwise have ceased trading whilst waiting for their claim to be paid.

Norman Lay, FSB Sponsorship Chairman, commented: "This tie-up with Dell is extremely welcome and could not come at a better time for our flood-hit members."

"IT equipment is such an integral part of many small businesses these days - especially in helping maximise productivity with a small number of staff - that losing that assistance can hit a small firm very hard."

"The Federation of Small Businesses is doing all it can to support its members during this difficult time."

John Wright, FSB National Chairman, added: "The FSB has led the way in supporting businesses hit hard by the recent flooding."

Our flood relief fund is providing FSB members with interest free loans to get them through this tough time and now, thanks to our sponsors at Dell, we are able to offer them even more assistance to get them back on their feet."

"With our loans and computer schemes we have two more reasons to show why small firms should join the FSB."
