Simply Business Employee Reviews

We train our managers on the importance of creating a safe and open space for their teams to have ongoing conversations and check in on how they’re feeling. Our leaders are trained to understand the different resources available for our employees, whether that be a policy, a therapy outlet, reimbursed meditation apps or access to our employee assistance program.

Almost every team has a member who has made the transition from a different department. Department managers and leads are always open to discussing how their teams work and what skills you would need to be able to make that transition

I’ve been lucky enough to have managers at Simply Business who’ve always had my career growth top of mind and have been there to support me the whole way.

What People Are Saying About Simply Business

  • Strategic Vision & Planning: Public leadership materials consistently describe a focused strategy—a data- and AI-enabled digital marketplace serving small businesses across the UK and US. Messaging across company pages and executive appointments reiterates this direction and customer focus.
  • Strong Execution: Recent launches and partnerships, including an AI advisor, ChatGPT-based entry points, and distribution integrations, align with the stated model and make the go-to-market tangible. Product and channel moves line up with the marketplace thesis rather than contradict it.
  • Collaborative & Aligned Leadership: Named leaders across Group, UK, and US reinforce the same marketplace thesis, with remits spanning technology, operations, finance, and data. This structure signals coordinated execution rather than fragmented direction.
