Innovative solutions in legal, payroll and small group health care
provide more savings, more choice for Sam’s Business Members
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Sam’s Club today announced a new suite of services to help America’s
entrepreneurs and small business owners save money and time on vital
day-to-day business needs, now available at SamsClub.com/services.
Teaming up with industry leaders in health care, payroll and HR, legal
solutions, travel and payment processing, Sam’s Club is the first mass
retailer to invest in member services specifically designed to benefit
small business owners and their employees.
“Whether they lead startups or seasoned firms, America’s small business
owners are constantly strapped for time,” said Rosalind Brewer,
President and CEO of Sam’s Club. “To help, we’ve enhanced our suite of
business member benefits to bring big-business benefits to small
business owners at a value they deserve. Our service providers share our
commitment to simplifying our members’ lives, offering affordable,
innovative solutions and convenience to critical business operations.”
Health Care Exchange for Small Business – Aetna Marketplace
Small business owners rarely have time to shop for affordable health
care options much less to manage individual plans for each employee. Aetna
Marketplace for Sam’s Club is the first mass retail-supported
private health care exchange designed to meet the needs of both the
small business owner and their employees. Sam’s Club business members
with two or more employees in 18 states have exclusive access to
personalized plan options from Aetna at SamsClub.com/healthcare.
Aetna Marketplace for Sam’s Club provides enhanced cost control and
budget predictability, simplified administration and easy-to-use tools
to help employees choose the plan that best meets their needs. With live
access to dedicated support for small business owners and their
employees, Aetna Marketplace offers a guided retail shopping experience
that provides more choice than the typical health care purchasing
experience. Learn more at news.aetna.com.
