New business benefits help PIF members get ahead of the crowd

Members of the Pet Industry Federation have access to an even wider range of benefits, thanks to two new schemes being launched by the organisation yesterday (Wednesday).

PIF Card Processing and a new Commercial Finance arrangement are available to all members of PIF and its umbrella trade associations and have been designed to help pet businesses to remain one step ahead of their competitors.

PIF Card Processing gives members access to a free, no obligation, health check from PIF’s partners 123Send. They will review card processing rates, terminal requirements and offer expert advice on any value added services that could benefit member businesses. One significant advantage of 123Send is that their terminals can be linked to merchant accounts from all the major UK card processors, giving businesses the flexibility to change card processing provider without having to change terminal infrastructure. 123Send can also ensure that members’ current solutions are best for them.

PIF has also teamed up with Jelf Commercial Finance to help its members purchase larger scale items to facilitate growth and expansion. With over 50 years’ experience in the financial industry, the team at Jelf Commercial Finance have access to a varied range of funders and are able to tailor finance packages to suit specific requirements. Jelf can help members finance assets such as packaging or manufacturing machinery, processing equipment, kennel re-builds or refurbishments, hydrobaths, CCTV systems, EPOS and software.

Members interested in finding out more about accessing either benefit should visit the membership section on the PIF website at www.petfederation.co.uk or call the Customer Service Centre on 01234 273933.
