Customers can access professional counsellors with support for stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The health plans will be free to businesses with 2-20 employees until 1st August, after the predicted peak of the coronavirus and as SMEs are getting back up and running. By making the plans available for free, it will enable smaller firms to offer their teams fast access to professional healthcare while having to work from home and without it affecting their cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equipsme plans start at just \u00a37 per person per month, and employees are able to upgrade their own levels of cover. Policies cost the same for everyone aged 16-69 and there are no lengthy or intrusive medical questionnaires to answer, meaning businesses can get a quote in seconds and then get back to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alan Thomas, CEO at Simply Business said:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>\u201cCOVID-19 has had a huge impact on all of us, and that\u2019s especially true for small businesses.
