Sam’s Club Aligns with Aetna, Execupay, LegalZoom to Expand Suite of Services for America’s Small Businesses

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.

In November, members can access Sam’s Club Travel by mobile app for Android and iPhone users and receive weekly deals through Sam’s Club Travel Insider emails.

“Members frequently tell us that they earned back the cost of their membership in as little as one transaction or through the use of one service,” added Seong Ohm, senior vice president of Membership Services. “That is our goal – to curate a suite of anywhere, anytime services with exclusive savings that make the Sam’s Club membership the most valuable “business card” for our members. Such savings of money and time can be passed on to their businesses, families and communities.”
