Insuring small businesses. Enabling big dreams.

That’s our mission here at Simply Business.

But it’s not just for our customers. It’s for our people. Our communities. For you.

Here’s how we achieve that mission:

We embrace your individuality

We see each person as an authentic individual with their own big dreams. That’s why we support our employees in recognizing those big dreams, all while supporting their wellbeing and growth. After all, no two people are alike - and at Simply Business, we treat every employee as the unique individual they are.

We’re innovative

We foster a place for people to be curious, experience new things, and bring unique ideas to the table. We listen to our customers and innovate to launch new products and services that meet their needs. We may be backed by a giant, but we’re always finding ways to be agile.

We trust who we hire

Finally, we empower SBers with choice and flexibility to make the right decisions based on the needs of our roles. Feedback, coaching, and learning keeps us honest and further builds trust.

Our values

Everything we do can be boiled down to these five values:

Learning: We’re never done learning about new possibilities and acting to explore them.

Empowerment: We believe in our people and the positive impact they can have, so we enable everyone to stretch themselves.

Authenticity: We celebrate diversity, avoid jargon and genuinely care about helping small businesses thrive.

Pioneering: We're obsessed with finding new ways to create even better experiences.

Simplicity: We simplify complex solutions to save our customers time and effort.

We’ve always believed that engaged, rewarded people give the best experience to our customers. And that recognising the hard work of our people is a vital part of our unique culture. That’s why our annual Simply Business Awards celebrations are so important. Our 2025 awards last weekend were a chance to congratulate the teams and individuals who drive us forward, highlight the biggest achievements, and celebrate the Simply Business culture in our 20th year. With winners from the US and UK, we awarded social impact champions, customer champions, inspiring leaders, and the people that capture the spirit of Simply Business. We also honoured the teams that have been pioneers with their work, those that epitomise experimentation, and the most creative use of technology. Awards were also given for global collaboration and a commitment to always learning. A huge congratulations to all of our winners, and a big thank you to our tireless organisers who made the celebration one to remember. Because it's our people who make our mission possible – so here's to many more years of supporting small businesses and enabling big dreams....Show more

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to give SBers extra time to reflect on how we can better support ourselves and others. With the help of our Mental Health Network, we set up a variety of activities giving SBers the opportunity to connect, and also shared events and resources. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces! SBers heard from mental health campaigner Nick Jemetta, and the UK team took part in a grounding yoga session provided for free from our brilliant customers, Tania and Chloe. We also sourced delicious lunches from local small businesses to keep everyone nourished, plus some goodies for giveaways. Thanks to everyone involved! ...Show more

Recognising and rewarding success is a huge part of the culture here at Simply Business. We strive to make sure every SBer feels inspired to go above and beyond for our customers every day. Which is why we wanted to do something special to celebrate. Recently, 750 of our people got together for the first ever SB Fest and our annual SB Awards – a celebration of all we’ve achieved so far in 2023. Teams from all over the world (including from our Boston, Atlanta, Northampton, and Poland hubs) came together in London for a day of fun, food, and fairground rides. After an inspirational talk from Dame Denise Lewis DBE, we got to recognise the teams and individuals who inspire and innovate us all at the SB Awards. We want to say a huge congratulations to all our winners and nominees – we can’t thank you enough for all you do at SB. And we couldn’t spend a day recognising what makes Simply Business so special without including our customers. Thanks to all our customers who came down to share their businesses with us – meeting you was a great reminder of why we do what we do. Thanks again XO Chocolate London, Socko, Mama Lolly, Matchbox Jewellery, Battersea Biltong LTD, Wilder Floral, Anti-Socialites, and No.3 Interior! A huge congratulations to all our award winners – and thank you to those who helped organise the event....Show more
