BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

Specialist Business Insurances:

The Retailers Association works in partnership with a leading specialist insurance broking firm to ensure our
members are provided with industry leading coverage for their business assets, at prices that are extremely
competitive. Don't pay higher prices to insurers for lesser quality coverage. Contact us before your business
insurances become due and we will ensure you are well looked after. Our members save on insurance premiums
and get optimal cover, because we did the negotiating for them up front.

Business Sales & Broking:

The Retailers Association has formed an alliance with leading specialist business brokers to ensure that if you are
thinking of buying or selling a business, you are looked after by industry professionals, who have a strong
practical knowledge of the retail sector. Even if you are just starting to think of buying or selling a business, call us
and discuss your options with people who have a wealth of knowledge and advice that can make the world of
difference in what can otherwise be a maze of concern and confusion.

Lease Consulting & Advice:

Our members have the unique opportunity to obtain independent leasing advice and advocacy from some of the
most respected experts in the business. Our consultants approach any challenge from the point of view of the
retailer and know how to get results when going up against tough competition. The fees for service are excellent
and the first telephone consultation is usually free. We're here to help when negotiations get tough.

Superannuation:

The Retailers Association has helped establish a leading non union, industry superannuation fund, specially tailored
to the retail sector. The fund charges some of the lowest fees in the market and advisors are able to help take the
hassle out of the paperwork that usually exists around superannuation. Contact us and find out how you can send
just one cheque per month to our preferred super fund, even if all your staff aren't in that fund. Sound too easy?
Call us and make it a reality.

Merchant & Banking Facilities:

The Retailers Association has negotiated some outstanding rates for members on eftpos and  merchant fees for
our members, with some of the major Banks. We have also locked in service agreements for our members in the
areas of lending and leasing, so as a member of The Retailers Association, you will get excellent rates, first class
service and finance professionals who understand your business - we've made sure of it. So contact us if you
have any finance needs. 

Website Development:

Do you like our website? We love it! And the creative team who made it a reality are also able to look after members
of The Retailers Association to ensure your online impact really works. If you are yet to set up a website for your
business it's time to stop delaying and stop missing out on key business opportunities. Many consumers will not
buy from a retailer until they have viewed their online image or product lines. Our friends and web design gurus are
the best people to start you off on the right track, without it costing you an arm and a leg. In fact, we bet you'll be
amazed what a small investment in web development can do for your bottom line. Contact us and we'll let you in
on our secret weapons over at the IT lair.

Telecommunications:

We have negotiated some amazing Telco deals for our members via one of the largest providers in Australia. From
mobiles, to land lines, to computer connections, if you have a Telco requirement, contact us first before you sign
yourself into any contracts that lock your business away from the competitive deals we've got waiting for you.
